I'm looking for a reasonably priced USB (1 or 2) video capturing device working under Linux. The USB requirement is due to the lack of PCI slots on the target machine.
I already tested a couple of Pinnacle products without any luck: they don't support Linux at all. Any suggestion welcome, thanks in advance.
Do a google search for 'video for linux', also look at the ivtv website.
Do you have any cards you could replace with a usb device in order to use a pci capture card? Stuff like a modem, network, or sound might be more easily done via usb than the capture card.
I already googled around and looked at the v4l drivers with no luck. Problem is that many devices get rebranded; a picture of the device sometimes helps more than its xxxx:yyyy USB id.
The target system doesn't have free PCI slots because it doesn't have PCI slots at all:) That's why I asked here.
Thanks for trying to help, though.
If you have IEEE-1349 Interface, then there are many linux compatable video capturing products. These products tend to be higher quality than the USB devices, and are targeted more to the professional video market, hence products tend to have a much larger life-span.
