I did a google for video catpreu and linux and most of what I found either said it can't be done or the software that did/does it is obsolete.

Can anyone point me in a better direction (and which way)?

It's been a while but Hauppauge PCI capture cards were at one point the best way to go under Linux, I found the above link from their site.

Depends on what your needs are, sounds like you just want to record basic TV-style inputs.

Video capture off IEEE1394 (firewire) devices is not hard. You will need the CentOSPlus kernel since the stock kernel does not have the IEEE1394 modules built.

Thanks.
