Hi,
        I need to capture analog monochrome video with ImageJ. I would  
rather do this on OS X but it may have to be done in XP. I need to  
capture standard NTSC video at standard video rates (30 frames/sec).  
I have to be able to accept analog video so any type of USB or  
Firewire camera is out of the question. I have two questions.


1. I looked at the WinVDIG hardware compatibility list (for USB and  
Firewire cameras). It looks like things are a bit messy in general to  
use the QuickTime plugin on XP.

2. I obviously need a Firewire or USB analog to digital converter. I  
don't need ultra high quality video so I'm hoping to find a  
relatively inexpensive A/D converter. I already have the camera. It's  
Pulnix TM 540.

        Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks, Phil
