Video capture card for linux? Does it exist?

Feb 11, 2005 6 Replies

I'm having trouble finding a video capture card product with Linux driver support. The ones that I have seen so far, support Linux only with experimental third party drivers.



Do any exist?



Pluses would be -



  • S-Video Input
  • Onboard size scaling


We went with a Video to IEEE-1394 solution. These days support for IEEE-1394 seems to be standard in Linux, and the Digital Video standard on top of this seems to be quite well supported as well.

couple of years back Broadcomm was supporting drivers for its Kfir card i am not sure if the support continues but it had the features you are looking for

Most v4l2 drivers are third party (well almost all Linux drivers are), but most of them are quite stable!
