Can anybody make a reccomendation on a cheap video capture setup that will give me reasonably smooth live video? I am not conerned with resolution so much as I am with smooth movement. This is for a live DJ/Radio setup, with a lot of movement from a close distance.

Right now I am using an IBM PC Camera webcam, and while it can grab the image it can't do movement at all and renders the video pretty much worthless even at 320x240/30fps.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
