wxCam – Simple video capture

I am about to embark on a mini project at home to archive some old family VHS tapes to DVD. To that end I have been looking for a simple video capture application, so that I can capture to an uncompressed .avi file which I can then edit and convert with avidemux.

wxCam is a webcam application which supports video recording to uncompressed and Xvid avi files. It supports both video4linux 1 and 2 drivers. I have only tested it with my webcam currently, as I have yet to decide what video capture device to get, but it works a treat.

There is a .deb package of wxCam 1.0 which “works for me ™” on Ubuntu 7.10.
