I have a Pinnacle dvc-80 gadget that takes output from a vcr and into USB. In Windows, I can capture output with this device. Now I'm wondering if I can make it work in Linux. I need software to do the capturing. I load the module for v4l and in dmesg I see that the device is found and registered: USBVision[1]: registered USBVision Video device /dev/video1 [v4l2] USBVision[1]: registered USBVision VBI device /dev/vbi1 [v4l2] (Not Working Yet!) usbcore: registered new interface driver usbvision I am guessing that sets me up to do video capture, but i can't find software that can do the capture on USB. In kino, it seems to insist that only firewire can be used. If you can advise me of a way to capture this video input. I gather the input should be stored as avi or mpg in order to fit my goal, which is to write it on a DVD. PJ -- Paul E.
