Just to discuss availability for the "wrong" platform. Chris' web pages gives this info: * Under windows you need a proxy vdig to enable QuickTime to see VfW and WDM video capture devices. * WinVDIG (v. 0.99) free ( http://www.vdig.com/WinVDIG/index.html) * Vdig (v 1.1b1) (http://www.abstractplane.com.au/products_vdig.jsp) the first one supports a lot of hardware <http://www.vdig.com/WinVDIG/compatability.html>. I think you will find that a you are going to need lots of fingers on the single hand! After the 1st hundred or so models (the page above doesn't mention the pixle link ones). Why do you need the 2nd hundred? I am not sure about vfw but this should give the compatibility that is "good enough". The "sad part" is that lack of support is considered "good enough". -Scott
