+    wxCam is a webcam application for linux. It supports video recording
+    (avi uncompressed and Xvid formats), snapshot taking, and some special
+    commands for philips webcams, so you can also use it for astronomy purposes.
+    It supports both video4linux 1 and 2 drivers,
+    so it should work on a very large number of devices.
