Out of the video capture cards that are supported under FreeBSD, which one
would be considered the best?  Meaning...


1. It is still readily available..
2. It can capture at least
   640x480 @ 15 frames/sec. in 16bit or better color.
3. Has decent developers support available..
4. Has support for video-in (either RCA or S-Video)

Would be nice to have video-out as well, but not necessary at this point.
I'm looking at buying a ton of these, so I need some good info and most of
the boxes I could find, or websites I went to were very misleading...
Ie: Some say 320x240 @ 60fps (were fps = fields per second, wutz dat? it
ain't a frame cause further down it said 320x240 @ 10 frames per second)

Suggestions, comments, ec.

BTW, in case you don't know, "supported" video captures devices are
(according to RELNOTES.TXT in 3.0)

Connectix QuickCam
Matrox Meteor Video frame grabber
Creative Labs Video Spigot frame grabber
Cortex1 frame grabber
Hauppauge Wincast/TV boards (PCI)
STB TV PCI
