Dear D,
We used an old analog CCD camera (Sony XC-77) with this device to record fish motion for rheotaxis assay.  I think the capture was controlled with BTVPro.  The output was saved as Quicktime without compression and analyzed with ImageJ.

I can find various bits and pieces - for example I am ok doing the ROI, but I am not sure how to tie all this together. Initially this would be done on a Mac, but eventually I will be running it on a PC too. Does anyone know of any particular plugin/script combinations which would be good for this?
