Most people use video capture boards. If someone has success with a webcam, I would love to know.

Hi, what kind of webcam do you suggest to purchase to operate with GEM's pix_video and Win2000 (or Win98)? Are all USB types compatible?
thanks in advance
Gabriel Maldonado
I got some video working with the pix_video object on Win98. I wasn't
expecting it, but I was giving a demo to a friend, and it sort of worked. We could only see about 1/3 of the video (bottom left). Pretty unstable, and not usable, but exciting none the less. I have a Pinnacle Systems "Studio PCTV" card. I wouldn't have bought it, but with a cash rebate the unit was free. I think it uses the Bt848 chipset. I'm expecting better performance if I ever get GEM running on RedHat 6.2.
