So I haven't completely given up on the OS on USB yet.
Got up early and tried some new things..
I am able to capture, convert, edit and render.
The only problem is capturing itself.
Quality is standard but better than a phone so it would do if I can stop the stream from lagging.
Theories or suggestions appreciated.
VLC player is an option, just can't get it to see the Dazzle DVC 100.
It's a bit trickier as I cannot install the standard cap card driver in Linux.
Progress though. Took a minute to get this far haha.
I'll shell some bucks later if I must but I see potential for now.
