Re: Video camera ( not digital ) to VCD



Check out mjpeg.sourceforge.net.

I've done this in the past using a IOmega BUZ card that I picked up on
ebay for 30$.  I don't necessarily recommend the card because of the
large amount of problems I've had with it, but I have a buddy who is
doing all his capture/encode/burn on linux using a Pinnacle DC-10+
which he is very happy with.

Any way you cut it you are going to face some difficulty, especially
in the area of NLVE.  Broadcast 2000 crashed too often on me, and when
you are working with things that big and timed jobs that long, it
really becomes more than annoying.

In any event, the mjpeg people are wonderful.  I am constantly amazed
at the knowledge and willingness to help on their mailing list.
