I am debating whether to buy a Logitech VC or > a Kodak DVC 323. It would be great to have support under FreeBSD! unless you have other constraints (e.g. want to use this on a laptop which only has a USB port) I still strongly recommend a standard (composite-video output) camera and a video capture card. The camera costs the same or marginally less than the corresponding USB unit, the card will cost you more than the 0$ for an embedded USB port, but you can have it working _now_ and have the bonus of being able to watch TV, digitize from tapes and select multiple video sources with a 2$ rotary switch! cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .
