Hi,
Sorry if this seems like a newbie question, but I'm having great difficulty in getting information.
I have an interest in capturing wildlife images. I've had some success with a USB webcam and motion detection software on my Ubuntu system, but obviously this is cable-length limited and the quality isn't brilliant.
I'm looking into the possibility of using a camcorder with s-video output into a capture card installed in the PC.
What I need to know is the possibility of capturing a live video stream from the s-video output of the camcorder during RECORDING mode. I suppose this is a bit like using the camcorder as a TV camera.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Do camcorders "usually" stream their images during recording onto the AV output, or is it only certain makes/models? Has anyone ever done this?
Many thanks in advance for any information, pointers, experiences.
Cheers

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
I should have stated that I'm currently "researching" the possibilities and don't actually own one
But it's good to know that it's not a complete dead end. I guess I'll just have to have the sales guy do a demo before I part with my money.
