[ale] Using a camcorder for a web cam?

[jeff_hubbs at mcgraw-hill.com]

Oh, absolutely!  I've never worked with the "two-way" video cards you
mention, but I have wirked with video capture boards like the ComputerEyes
PCI (from Digital Vision, I think).  Linux support may be a definite
problem, though.

I have an old camcorder that's gone on the fritz in that it won't tape
any longer.  It still provides a decent picture via video out.  Question
is, has anyone heard of using such a device as a web cam?  I've seen
some video cards with video input jacks and was wondering if anyone has
heard of this.
