A raw stream is everything I need, as it is displayed by mplayer directly.

I don't mind patching the driver. I am no developer, but applying a patch and compiling the driver I should manage. Otherwise do you know another mini-pci-express video capture card that is supported by the linux kernel? Thanks for your help Michael > Devin >
