I imagine he is asking for movie capture hardware and editing and to
that I would say no, especially if you are looking for broadcast
quality (MPEG-2) captures.

If you are looking for video frame or MBONE video, or multiple frame
sequences to software convert to movie format (using a software MPEG-1
conversion programs) then the answer is yes. for information see:

http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~tinguely/mbone-freebsd/video.html

and A. Hasty's web site on rah.star-gate.com

a long term goal is to get a MPEG-2 capture boards supported when they come
down in price and companies are willing to give out specs. (most likely
the MPEG-2 chipset companies will be the ones that will release any information.
