    capture mpeg with MX-400a

    I just bought a new Aopen Geforce2 MX-400A. I can't find any setting any where that will let me capture video in MPEG on the fly like my ATI TV Wonder. The card supports WDM Capture: Win 98SE/ME/2000 - and I have WinDVR that comes with it. Any idea how I start capturing video? thanks.

    Which webcam?

    I'm getting a webcam to hook up to my Mindstorms, preferably USB. Does anyone know which camera provides the best quality? The Logitech will be most compatible with my Mindstorms, however, I've heard that the Creative has better quality. Any comments?

    Linux boot, 911!!!

    Should be correct, the auto detect matches that of the drive spec. Anything else I can try? It's a 10GB Fujitsu, on some old Asus Socket 7 mobo, K6 350

All I see is the usual BIOS stuff, and then underneath all the devices listing I get this LIL-_ blinking cursor! Any idea??? If I pop in the CD I can get into single mode, but I'm not sure...
