hi all,

i'm having four capture cards recognized as follows (snipped from dmesg):

i installed vic and fxtv packages to test these capture cards. fxtv
shows a video feed when a camera is connected. whereas vic does not
show any thing, it just sits there saying "Waiting for video", and in
the menu options for vic the transmit button is also disabled. I was
wondering if anybody had this working, and if i'mm missing something
here. Need help.

Cheers
Pritesh.
