There is a grabber driver available for bt848 that emulates matrox meteor and
can be used under Linux with the version of vic that has meteor support.
The sad thing for us europeans is that PAL support is missing.
NTSC is hard coded into the driver. I have however tested the driver + vic
(with a PAL camera and an Happauge card) and I was able to get a distorted
b/w picture.

The software is available at ftp://ftp.parker.boston.ma.us/pub/mbone/
