It's more like "buy a cheaper video capture device that has Linux drivers." I looked for a USB capture device with Linux drivers to use on my laptop but I never found one that works well. Both the Dazzle DVC80 and WinTV USB were quite bad.
Many PCI capture devices such as WinTV PCI or TV Wonder work perfectly. (TV Wonder VE $30US vs DVC150 $150US)
As for software, Kino is a popular video editing program. It supports DV sources and any capture device with Video4Linux drivers.
[<Yigal>] I need to capture analog video. Before I bought it I considered many parameters and preferred USB because I can move it between computers easily. I just forgot to check the Linux drivers issue - I was sure it's obvious. Is there anything I can do now to use it with Fedora?
I am looking at a device as well and I have been looking at http://www.canopus.us/US/products/advc-100/pt_advc-100.asp
I found a site that explains how to use this with Linux and Kino. It isn't USB but it is supposed to work. There is supposed to be one around work that I want to try.
