Anybody? video4linux/ wecam question?

[Richard M. Lotz]

I have a quick cam, and I'll warn you that (well, it was last time I used
it) amazingly slow.  Good for webcam type 2 minute snaps but the blasted
think would skip my mp3s on a PPro 200 :( Any actual "video" capture
was really slow.

I'll dig around the and see I can find anything on the USB and Video4Linux
stuff as I am half considering picking one up.
