I'd like to know if there are Linux drivers for any
video frame grabbers. I remember a Matrox card being
supported. Is there any support for other frame grabbers?
Can anyone give me a pointer to the driver code for any of them,
including the matrox?
Thanks a lot.

Yup... our * (http://www.veryComputer.com/*/) uses
a hacked copy of the Pro Movie Studio driver. Works quite well, really.
Now, if someone was bored, it'd be nice to put these into kernel space...

1. video capture / frame grabber support in Linux
hello,
We need to do video input using Linux. I frame every few seconds is fine
for our purposes, but we do need color. 640x480 resolution would be nice,
but if we have to live with 320x200, we could for a while I think.
I have looked at the video software and drivers available at sunsite,
and did not really find anything that met our needs.
Here is my assessment of the supported hardware:
o ImageNation Cortex I : grayscale
o Quanta WinVision video capture card : low end, grayscale
o FAST Screen Machine II : hard to get in US, PAL, high end = expensive
o Video Blaster, Rombo Media Pro+ : color, old, might not work, no support,
does not work with newer cards
o Pro Movie Studio by MediaVision : maybe...it is color, need more info
The only possibility so far is the Pro Movie Studio, which may be hard to
get and expensive (we can't spend $1000 on a frame capture card).
thank you for your time,
Dwayne Fontenot
