do you mean s-video rather than s-vhs? s-video is still an analog |
| 22 |
signal. anyway its not gonna do what we want. |

analog to dv is an expensive device, but some digital video cameras |
| 25 |
have an analog rca input and you can convert old analog stuff to dv by |
| 26 |
passing it through the camera. I am not sure if you have to record it |
| 27 |
on to digital video tape first and then play it out over the firewore |
| 28 |
port, or whther you can simply pass it through. |

A simple PCI framegrabber will do what you want, but you specified USB |
| 31 |
or firewire, so are we dealing with a laptop? If you need a USB device |
| 32 |
i pointed out one that will work in my first post, but thats not to say |
| 33 |
other usb devices won't work. |

The other option is a webcam device on top of the microscope. |
