Hi,
there is one more card from VideoLogic, a UK based company who is
about 6000 DM in Germany. They have a board, which can do realtime
JPEG compression of 25 frames /sec and write it directly to harddisk.
Then you can also play it back in realtime.
Resolution was about 640x480 or less in nearly true color. I saw a
demo on the last Cebit show.

We are going to have a fast framegrabber for the PC, called PC
Hurricane (TM), which can do 320x240 true color to Extended Memory in
25 frames/sec. So if you have 64 MB of RAM, you can store a few
seconds of video and encode it to MPEG via our Xing MPEG encoder (per
frame 1.5 seconds)
The PC Hurricane is 999.-DM and the MPEG encoder is 499 DM.

Have a look at the free MPEG demo for win3.x in
ftp 130.231.240.17  under pub/MPEG    MPEGXING.LZH is the file to
download.
