[LAU] Video capture

[Neil C Smith]

Hi,

I bought three of these recently for a project -
http://www.camsecure.co.uk/Camsecure_usb_video.html  We were using two
at a time, and they worked great with Ubuntu 12.04.  They use a lot of
USB bandwidth though - needs a bus to itself really.  Even trying to
copy to a flash drive at the same time stopped the stream.  The other
issue is the amount of stuff that uses the EasyCap or EZCap name -
worth finding a distributor who advertises Linux compatibility like
this if you can.

Hope that's some help.

Best wishes,

Neil
