And thar ya go. Pretty simple.”

I obviously live on another planet where a bunch of garbly gibberish is not simple. You might as well have written that in chinese characters.

It works great for pumping the VHS to the PC and of course Mythbuntu is saving it as an mpg. Mythbuntu 9.04 dropped frames but 9.10 doesn’t. The dropped frames showed up when watching the text crawler at the bottom of the Bloomberg channel feed, dish not VHS.
