vid is an Image Capture program for USB cameras using the
Omnivision OV511 and OV511+ chipset.

These include the

Creative Labs WebCam 3 (*** see note about the OV511+ below ***)
D-Link DSB-C300
Puretek PT-6007
Alpha Vision Koala-Cam
Lifeview RoboCam
AverMedia InterCam Elite
MediaForte MV300
Trust SpaceCam 300 (*** see note about the OV511+ below ***)

The program was written by Peter Housel <housel@acm.org) and
is heavily based on the Linux OV511 driver from http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/

Notes On The OV511+
-------------------
Josh Elsasser <jre@vineyard.net> has added support for OV511+ cameras.
Older Creative WebCam 3's use the OV511 but newer ones use the OV511+
