Movie Maker compatible usb capture devices.

[Norm.Nelson]

Has anyone found a list of USB capture devices that are compatible with
Movie Maker. I bought a Dazzle usb capture dongle but the drivers are
not compatible with MM. They make you install a huge pinnicle editing
program to work with the device and I would much rather find a HW
solution that works with MM.

I need to capture from analog video that is comming from a CCTV camera
mounted on a microscope. We want to be able to email captured stills.
The Dazzle solution works but we need to dedicated laptop to this
microscope station and we would much rather use a cheap refurbished one
than a reccomended 2.4 pentium with 1 GB of ram.

The advantage of using a compatible usb device is that only the drivers
would be required and MM is already on an xp pro machine.

It has to be a lap top so pci solutions won't help.

Thanx,

Norm

On the Analog Video Capture section of my website menu, I bolded the items
that work with Movie Maker. I know the Dazzle 80 works (model numbers higher
than 100 don't), and others say the Canopus and SmartDisk units work.
