><P
>&#13; AFAIK there are three methods to connect a
video camera to a laptop: a ZV port, FireWire and maybe USB,
but I don't know how this works with Linux. I have
heard rumors about using a sound card for video
data transfer to a Linux box, see

. I have heard rumors about a
Linux-QuickCam-mini-HOWTO, but couldn't find a
reliable URL yet. Check the <B

package which is build for scanner support, this
should contain support for still-grabbers as well.

provides a graphical interface for controlling
Kodak Motion Corder fast digital cameras over a
serial connection. kmc_remote is built on the
kmc_serial library, part of the kmc_utils
package. kmc_remote provides a virtual button
panel and simple one-touch commands for changing
system variables which would involve multiple
button operations on the real camera button
console. Buttons, record settings (image size,
record rate, shutter speed, trigger mode, burst
mode), and playback rate control should be fully
functional. All camera models are supported, as
well as both PAL and NTSC video.
