For example, in the Sony line of camcorders, you have the Memory Stick cards in which you can store photos, but also low-quality MPEG videos copied from your DV tape (10 to 15 sec max for around 1 MB).

Re: [newbie] Video again
I have not tried in 8.2 (have not installed any TV software yet) but a tv capture card and a regular video cam gets better color and is quicker (just an impressoin YMMV) than any or Parrellport cam. as far as I remember from MDK7.2, video capture is supported under xawtv and Broadcast 2000 On Wednesday 15 May 2002 06:23 pm, you wrote: On 15 May 2002, Nicolas VERITE wrote: Le mer 15/05/2002 à 10:59, Robin Turner a écrit : Has any one here had any success getting Mandrake to download from a camcorder via USB?
