Would you recommand a specific analog grabber card that works fine with Mac ?
no idea. i have been using bttv/connexant based grabber cards very successfully on linux and w32.
still DC camera ( like Unibrain camera ) give uncompressed signal, so they have very low latency...
these cameras are supported generally on Mac OSX through quicktime ( with pix_video or pdp_ieee1394 that uses quicktime too ).
on linux, cameras are supported by different APIs and thus different objects ( pdp_ieee1394, pdp_v4l, pdp_v4l2 or pdp_dc1394 ) depending on your type of cameras....
and there is nothing like video for capture and video for real-time, the driver acts exactly the same whatever is your purpose.. ( how can a driver knows what you want to do of the video hey ? )
ciao, sevy
