All of this is only possible if your device supports Video4Linux (be it

Or you can use Libav's Avplay to just open it, this assuming that your

Some Nvidia hard runs very bad. Updated drivers can improve.
VirtualBox is under GPLv2, besides the Extension Pack which is under PUEL.
The main problem with it is that some parts require non-free compilers,

You should try to search on the forum first instead of duckduckgo. Also,
duckduckgo is shit. Use ixquick or startpage.
You had an issue that others didn't have. The grub password is asked for
editing purposes only when booting BUT IF YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO EDIT IT IT

How is that a security thing? How is that beneficial to security? How does it
