The ScreenPlay utility that comes with the Spigot grabs 24 bits per
pixel. You can of course save the data with any QuickTime compressor,
at any bit depth that the compressor supports.

Yes, it's true there is currently no QuickTime video digitizer "component"
for the Spigot, which means you can't capture video other than with
ScreenPlay. But they're working on it. Last I heard they mentioned
a "late April" release date for the component.
