when i tried video on my ibook with usb it was not very successful for
capture or display.  with laptops you also run into the problem of the
bus.  many laptops have very slow bus  to add to the usb  speed
shortfall.  i changed to firewire and had much better results but still
not really up to speed. the next problem i ran into on laptops is the
limited video support built into most lower end models.  just not
enough  speed  on the video.
