Short version, you need hardware to digitize the incoming analog signal (which in your case appears to be standard TV, either NTSC or PAL). What you do with the digitized data is dependent on the software you use or write, but you need it digitized first. Or get a camera that includes digital output from the get-go :-) -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder@gmail.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan
