so, i just bought a rca to usb adapter in order to use my camera as a webcam (i'm cheep, i know) as well as for use with some other systems that i want to record. the only problem is that it doesn't work with Linux. this isn't really a problem since i'm going to be dual booting with Win7 pretty soon. although, it would be nice if i could use it with Linux as well.

it shows as (/dev/video0) so it is being seen in Linux.
I've only tried webcam soft-wares such as "cheese" and "camorama" as those were the only ones that i could think of.

if anyone has gotten the below converter to work in Linux or knows any workarounds than your help would be highly appreciated

this is the converter

thanks in advance for the help
