I haven't gotten this far in my education in SuSE. Hopefully, a member of the SuSE mailing list can help a fellow SuSE user.

I think about the easiest way is to plug a NTSC cam into your WinTV or similar capture card. I got a nice Toshiba for $35 on ebay. If you have xawtv installed, just type webcam at a command prompt and it will capture from the cam and upload it for you. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
