[plug] Video Capture - USB/FireWire

[Onno Benschop]

Hi all,

After realising that my current web-cam is not up to the task and my 
digital camera unable to interact in a real-time fashion with my 
workstation, I've come to the conclusion that I need to look elsewhere.

I've been hunting for video capture devices which take a video source 
and translate that into either USB or FireWire. My computer doesn't have 
any slots to stick any PCI or ISA cards into it, so it will have to be 
external.

    * Who has done this?
    * Does anyone have any recommendations?
    * Who should I be investigating as a supplier.

(Oh, hmm, I should point out that it needs to work under Linux and not a 
pain in the butt to setup.)

Any assistance will be gracefully accepted.


Kind regards,
