In some systems, you are left with almost no PCI slots. I thought USB would less obtrusive in this sense. We already do firewire capture of digital cameras. And, I have seen a device that converts a VHS signal into firewire digital video, but it was more expensive than our target price. Times four. We may end up with a PCI card and a manual channel selector. This is for a calibration done on a periodic (every week or so) basis. > On Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Roger Oberholtzer wrote: > > > > > Anyone know of a USB device to do video capture that works with Linux?
