Hi emanuel
interesting issue!
about 1/2 year ago i had some not really succesfull experimentation
goin with the
Pinnacle PCTV USB2 as it uses a bt878 chip and i could borrow it from
a friend. the driver was initialized but i only got a black screen
(using camstream) - due to my research the driver was broken
&
win usb - only b&w picture
all this on a ubuntu feisty machine
remembering the win usb worked 3-4 jears ago on a debian desktop.
i've a pci card with Brooktree (Bt878) chipsets running (also
connexant chipsets should work) they're cheap ~80$ but i gues you're
looking for a usb version?!
greets
olsen
