Video Capture in Linux

[Lawrence Tilly]

Ok...I have my DVD burner working great and this week I'm going to
start playing with some of the authorizing software that's out there (
QDVDAuthor and DVDStyle mostly ).  About 50% of what I want to archive
and share right now is already digital ( photos and short clips taken
w/ my Cannon A80 ).  However, I also have a fair amount of stuff on my
non-DV camcorder that I want to utilize.

I am aware of some of the video caputre cards that people are using
from previous research into a future MythTV setup, but what I would
really like would be to use one of the existing USB-based video
capture solutions such as the Pinnacle "Dazzls" device.  This writes
out as MPEG-2 format which appears to be what the DVD authoring and
editing tools want as well.  I'm just having a lot of trouble finding
anything via Google that would indicate if a USB solution like this is
workable and some of the steps.

advTHANKSance!
