Some notes.

The lib-serilazation on Peters site is a Hardy version. You only need it for Gutsy.

Your options are for a Kodacom 8 port clone. They will not work for all cards.

You can set "zmfix" guid and not have to manually set the permissions on the video. Otherwise you will have to do it each reboot.

Most of this is in the WiKi. However, only in English. If anyone wants to start a translation, that would be fantastic! There is a lot of good information there.
