I think it's just like the Winmodem scenario - your machine does most of the job, so they cannot release the source code due to secrets algoritms.. > What about other (non-USB) external frame grabbers? any positive experience > with any of those? well, about others - there are PCI based grabber cards (like hippogauge) which are supported very well under Linux. Their prime market is TV grabbing, but they are doing a very good job grabbing from RCA input as well. Some models know how to grab and put data as RAW uncompressed, and some others encode it directly (with a built-in chip) to MPEG or MPEG-2.
