I've got a conexant BTxxx capture chip on a PCI board. I think the problem of the analog capture card its the poorer image quality than Firewire. And delay is quite noticeable to my opinion even on a linux box. > > I think that the BNC cable is more flexible an easier to handle than > the Firewire.

There is also the firewire over optic fibre solutions: one of the dance companies Iw ork with purchased one, and it has an excellent image quality and very low delay over a 100m fiber. The fiber is actually more flexible than a cooper coax cable and a lot lighter. The prob with BNC is the weight of the cable itself which tends to damage the camera/peripheral connectors after a while. See http://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?name=648 for one of the cheapest FW over optic fibre solutions around in France. ++ O.
