Anybody know of a currently availible analogue video capture device currently avaible that works with linux. Video Audio in being preffered. There appear to be a signifcant number of USB devices around any of these work with linux. I picked up one of these from eBay for a few dollars about a year ago:
Mind you since it is only for conversion of some tapes to digital probably does not matter if it only works in Windows XP as long as the software does not cost the earth. I did find a linux module for it but the name escapes me just now, however a quick google turned up http://sourceforge.net/projects/easycapdc60/ which I didn't know about at the time. ISTR the docs that came with the original driver I found made it sound a bit flakey (mentioned reports of the video capture trashing a filesystem!). I ended up using it under windows - did the job. YMMV depending on the quality of the analog recording that you want to capture of course.
Good luck! - Brendon.
