I am sure this question has been anwsered before, however since the arcive
search isn't working I was forced to ask it again, sorry.

I am looking for a video capture card to take a snapshot of a video
signal and dump it to .gif or .jpg every 5 min. or so for web access.  The
signal is currently on an inhouse cable network.

I would like a fair quality card, but since my requirements really are not
that much I am assuming that one of the current ~$99 TV cards will work
fine.

Has anyone had any expirence with doing this?  What is the best card to
buy?  Which has the best Linux support?

I have checked out the bttv
http://www.thp.uni-koeln.de/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html website and saw there
is support for a few, but I guess I am really looking for first hand
expirence and recommendations on which card is best for this purpose.

                                                        -Fred
