Please can we use Ogg Theora? I don't have a tv capture card, but I will try to get one if no-one else has one. Let me know.
The best video to computer solution I've found so far is via DV (either a DV camcorder or hardware video to DV encoder) to firewire. I use much less CPU pulling in DV over firewire than from a capture card. I also drop quite a few frames with capture cards, and never drop any with firewire. I agree that Ogg Theora is a nice format. There is a tool to convert straight from DV to Theora from FFMPEG called ffmpeg2theora. It may convert from other formats, too. -kolibrie
