<div><br>Ah, the /bin/true did the trick. Thank you so very much. I initially tried the /usr/bin/true but for some reason, the video file could not be found.</div>

<div>I would much rather capture with component or s-video, but for reasons beyond my control, I cannot. As it turns out, the coax version of connecting works out quite nicely for me.</div>

<div>Thanks again!</div>
