Firstly, thank you for all the trouble you're going to. Secondly, I wasn't able to get to our markets here, unfortunately, but I did make some enquiries at some local shops. One of them has heard of "ELSA", and say that they are only available at the high-priced camera shops. No one had heard of hauppage. I'll continue to keep my ear to the ground.

Hi Nick, I was also unsuccessful in my search for a Hauppage WinTV card at North Rocks computer market today. There were lots of stands with the Winfast and another card (both around AUS$70) but nothing else. I think it's important for us to find software that can capture video under OS/2 and then work back from there to which card to buy and, in that case, it may be a case of buying from one of the mail-order companies. I'd like to know what the software demonstrated at Warp Weekend was. I think I'll go and check out their website and see if I can see what it was. Perhaps it supports other cards than just the Hauppage PVR-250 and 350 cards ? By the way, which part of Australia are you in ?
