Other guys has posted a bash script that does the same.

You need hardware to capture the images, maybe a Quickcam or something. For
medium quality visit the site mentioned above, card LML33 is great for VHS
and such things. And IIRC it writes JPGs directly (or via included tools).
>I currently have Caldera with following image processing programs:

Get newer version if you want. 1.0.4 estable (w/ GTK+ 1.2), 1.1.11 developer.
>Blender 1.36
