What Puppy version are you using? If you have mplayer, you may be able to get playback from the camera using
Code:
mplayer tv://



I was messing about today and found an old Bielkin Digital video device that connects between video camera and a USB port

So I had another video camera also and connected both up.

Using the suggestion above I got a green screen up with something obviously going on but I cannot tell what
I want to change whats being received by mplayer to PAL , how do I do that?

See screenshot for clearer view of what happened and the terminal output at the time

Edit I read a little and tried adding in "norm=5" to the start command but I didn't get that right and the second shot shows that.

Probably a very silly question, but have you tried guvcview with any of these devices?

Seems so innocent and helpful doesn't it !
Chased my tail trying to install this to Puppy and I do not recommend it
Got to about number 5 dependency not installed and linking outdated .so files to current versions and threw it away

Thanks for suggestion but no thanks for the program with Puppy !

I was fortunate when loading guvcview to Slacko because I found some good tutorials from rcrsn51 and 01micko.
I have no idea if your cams would be compatible with guvcview, but if it helps I posted my way of getting guvcview going here:

guvcview allows you to take a snapshot as well as record video.
