Hi, I am completely new to v4l and to video on computers. Thus, please excuse my stupid questions. I am planning to buy some hardware to turn my laptop into a video recorder. My goal is to copy (edit) video tapes to DVD. My laptop has got a USB2 port and my video recorder a SCART port. What do I need in between? In the local store I have seen a lot of devices at a prize range from EUR 30 to EUR 300. The sales people wanted to sell me a Pinnacle MovieBox USB for about EUR 200. But to the question about linux they had no answer. On the Internet I have found a lot of links on linux-capable PCI Cards but nothing on USB Boxes. Are there any USB devices that capture an analog video signal working with linux? If yes, what do I really need for my goal? Thank you very much, Torsten
