Home made camera designs?

Does anyone know of a "frame grabber" capturing software that is compatible with Linux for the Sumix USB cameras?

Cinerella, is the only free Linux capture/editor I am familiar with for normal video format, but what do you mean "with Linux for the Sumix USB cameras" do they have some special Linux system ?.

I apologize, I think my wording was a little confusing. We wanted to get a Sumix camera to use on our green screen, but we have all mac systems. Sumix has told us that they are not supported on OS X. So my idea was to run a Linux partition on one of our systems instead of wasting the money on a PC. If there is anyway to get it to run on OSX, that'd be awesome. I was thinking of emulating a windows machine, but it just runs too slow to meet there specs.

Thanks

Sumix has one or two new cameras coming out shortly, did they mean those as well?

So you are saying they have a Linux version, or Windows version, that could work on the Mac OSX? There is a Linux for the Mac, I think if you goto Mac Insider or Spy Mac, you will find a news article on the latest Linux version, and an alternative PC emulator to the MS one, within the last few months.

If you go to the technical thread (or the 4:4:4 thread) and ask the same question, there is are persons called Jason, and Juan, who own Macs, and might know more.

I wonder what has happened to the new Sumix cameras, it is taking too long.

Thanks

Wayne.

Linux for Mac is the Yellow Dog distro.

Anyone know of a good eye piece? I'm looking for something powered by USB...

Thanks
