Folks,

       Has anyone tried (successfully or otherwise) to record video
captures from a webcam to an external storage device directly? I am
limited by my USB 1.1 which allows me to use a frame rate of 5 or 10 fps
and I would like to increment this capture rate to 25 or 30 fps.
However, I need something like a firewire connection which I already
have on my Dell laptop. Another possibility would be for the webcam to
be interfaced to my laptop's firewire slot directly which I do not know
if it is possible or not using some intermediate adapter (USB to IEEE 1394).

       Any leads or advice would be appreciated.

Anthony.
