- There is more than one for the Mac that will do capture and JPEG compression
- to disk in real time. RasterOps have their MoviePak add-in for various of
- their video input cards, and SuperMac have their DigitalFilm all-in-one card.
- I gather both of those were supposed to have started shipping this month,
- but you might try contacting the vendors to find out for sure.

- *Nobody* has got MPEG compression going in anything approaching real-time--
- certainly not full MPEG compression, with motion detection between frames.
