The Canopus site refers to codecs they use.

"The ADVC-100 features Canopus's award-winning DV codec technology, which is
found in AVID's Xpress DV software and the full line of Canopus DV capture
cards."

Are these codecs supported in Linux software? That is, are you using this
from Linux software? The video capture would work, but is the codec from the
box directly usable with other than their software?
