[newbie] USB camera with MDK

2003-03-17 Thread Kesav Tadimeti
HI all,
I need to record a video. One normally does this with a Video camcorder,
then capture the video from the tape to the computer using a software
program. I want to avoid the investment that goes into this. 

I would like to know if I can use a USB web camera to capture the video and
simultaneously convert to a computer file. Does Mandrake Linux support this?
DO I need a TV Tuner card for this? I am a total newbie to all things
related to Multimedia and USB. So please bear with my ignorance.

With thanks & warm regards
Keshav

Police: Good evening, are you the host?
Host:   No.
Police: We've been getting complaints about this party.
Host:   About the drugs?
Police: No.
Host:   About the guns, then?  Is somebody complaining about the guns?
Police: No, the noise.
Host:   Oh, the noise.  Well that makes sense because there are no guns
or drugs here.  (An enormous explosion is heard in the
background.)  Or fireworks.  Who's complaining about the noise?
The neighbors?
Police: No, the neighbors fled inland hours ago.  Most of the recent
complaints have come from Pittsburgh.  Do you think you could
ask the host to quiet things down?
Host:   No Problem.  (At this point, a Volkswagon bug with primitive
religious symbols drawn on the doors emerges from the living
room and roars down the hall, past the police and onto the
lawn, where it smashes into a tree.  Eight guests tumble out
onto the grass, moaning.)  See?  Things are starting to wind
down.
