Video capture

[Joel Hammer]

I think my letter about video capture never made it to the list, so I'll try
again.

We are going to get a digital photomicroscope for our pathology lab. I am
not satisfied with the software demonstrated thus far. Awkward and too many
steps involved in capturing and saving an image.

So, is there a linux solution?

The camera has 3.1 million pixels. The digital camera has a firewire connection.
What video cards and video capture software are available for linux?

I want to be able to capture, save, and label the image with a single
click or keystroke.  This scope will be used by physicians, so the
software has got to be absolutely easy to use and fool proof.

Any suggestions appreciated.
