Plextor USB capture devices feedback?

[mbassiouny]

Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience with capture cards from Plextor?
like :

Plextor ConvertX PX-M402U
Plextor PX-AV100U

They also seem to work fine on Linux!

I've been focused on my gear but this should help the conversation (from the wiki):

Interestingly the ATI 600USB also has a linux driver available, although:

Quote:

Analog audio appears to be problematic so you will likely need to employ SOX as a helper application
The root of the problem is that the em28xx presents itself as a USB audio device, and applications such as tvtime do not know to associate the video stream with the audio stream.
