Check out Broadcast 2000. It is open source for Linux. It will capture from
a video4linux device. It will even make quicktime from the source. It
looks good. Also, there is a product called 'Main Actor'. It is a
commercial product (Windows and Linux), but there is a free download
for Linux. It is more of a video/sound editor for getting fancy with
your videos, but I believe it has a video capture interface as well.
Do you have the basic video set up? That is, is the video4linux part
set up?
I have just been getting a firewire-based digital camera to work on Linux
and have been suprised at the really great software out there.
Broadcast 2000 is a good start:

| I plan to re-record to cdrom either vcd or svcd.
