VIC supports (under Windows) any video device that uses a Windows video
capture driver. I forget the name, MS Capture or something like that. Now
Linux is a different story, BUT it is possible. The guys at the Asia
Pacific Grid have an excellent tutorial and patches for VIC that allow
Firewire cameras to work with the libdc control library. I use several
Firewire cameras with this.

Firewire DV cams are very different and probably won't work.
