Well darn, but ok as I ween computer off windows dependacies Ill make sure
I get my 
little brother into doing the patch.. 
        
Winov Videum cards? I think the author of the driver tried to take a look
at this but I 
noticed in the past it didn't get much posted about it.  This may seem sad
but I have an
old USR Big picture card that really doesn't like the new bttv driver, and
I have a winov
board.. I suppose I could pick up another webcam ( gave my dlink to the family
so they 
could video conf with us), but I already have two capture boards.. 
        
My bttv gets huge lag initialzing, and winov doesn't seem to get picked up
right by GM..
