My previous post succeeded in finding out some information about
PC Hurricane.  It is a video capture board that can capture
(into 32M ram) approx 16 seconds.  Stores in RAM as 16 bit TGA.
Using "Xing Technology" software mpeg encoder, it appears to
take about 5 minutes to capture and encode a 16 second movie,
for a ratio of about 18:1 (18 hours to capture/encode 1 hour of
full motion video).

It appears that there currently is NOT an inexpensive integrated
video capture and mpeg encoder available?

Does anyone have a list of 24 bit color capture boards for
PC or MAC that capture in real time (ie capture a five second
movie in five seconds!).  Appears that currently mpeg encoding
would have to be a seperate process.?

Questions for self, not the company I work for.
