Has anyone modified or think it possible to use a USB webcam and modify it so as to input a baseband composite video signal straight into it via a cable instead the camera part? Basically it would be a composite video signal convertor to USB input to a pc.
Two different animals. VGA digital and NTSC or PAL analog standards
There are PCI boards for the purpose. You need to search for them. They sell a TV tuner that is roughly the size of a USB flash drive for ~$30 that will turn the computer into a TV and also video monitor (what you want). Lots of PCI cards on the market too with all sorts of added features for very low cost.

The sensor in a WebCam type of device has a serial interface (SPI)
That serial interface is sent to the PC via its driver to make an mpeg file.
So its three different animals. ;-)
Yes.
Not that it matters to a Google groups poster
