Hey all,
I'm looking for a application that I can use to capture video from a USB web camera.
I have Cheese Webcam Booth 2.28.1 installed but it leaves a lot to be desired in the video capture field. Things like actually working. It does an adequate job of snagging a batch of single images in burst mode.
Any suggestions?
Greetings,

We use motion at work, which has been fine for years. Note that these *are* for security, so we're not *that* worried about quality or blowing the video up.

MythTV or a combination of zoneminder and mythtv (as suggested in ref. below)

Keep us posted on how your project works out. I suggest mythbuntu 12.04.1 if you decide to go with MythTV.
