    Hi,

    Can someone please recommend a USB capture card that supports the capturing of raw VBI (Vertical Blank Interval) data?

    So far, I have tried a Dazzle and WinTV capture card, but they do not appear to read VBI.
    I'm interested in capturing XDS data.

    (I am using Ubuntu Linux, and the program "Zapping" and I receive the error "/dev/vbi0 is not a raw vbi device".

    Thanks,
    Jason

    The ATI 550/650 drivers extract XDS data. You may need to use the ATI Windows App. or a Windows PVR app.

    Not sure if MythTV uses XDS in Linux. I'd expect it to.

    Thanks for the tip! I'm going to give the ATI 650 a try and see if I can read VBI.

    Also, FYI - in case anyone else is looking, I found some other standalone tools
    by searching for "usb vbi decoder".
