My hunch is that PCMCIA would be better, particularly for USB 1.0

a) if people have any preferences
b) if there are even and PCMCIA video capture cards supported by V4L.
I didn't see any on the "gallery" page.
Not sure if they are supported, but a USB2 PCMCIA card might be a good
solution. Then you get the the supported USB devices with the added
speed of USB2, when you need it, and none of the hassles of finding a
supported PCMCIA capture card.
They aren't too expensive <pricewatch USB2 PCMCIA cards>

but check the usb lists to be sure. Same for specific devices.
