Could you clarify what applications you use and you mean by "work well," since I 
have never had any hardware including ATI-HDTV Wonder, three Happaugh 
(supposedly supported) cards and two USB capture dongles. Some of this worked 
fine in FC4 and FC6, and FC9 if I ripped out PulseAudio so the applications 
could get to the hardware, but FC10 and 11, nothing I would say works "usefully" 
much less "well."

This is not the place for long discussions of video, but if you could detail 
what you feel works, that would be good.
