The camera uses standard windows drivers. You can use premiere to grab stuff
if you want (and if the software that comes with it doesn't like you (or the
other way around, whatever)
BTW : for that price, I'd say that there is 50 for the cam, 80 for the
software (that could include a dumbed down version of premiere or similar
software - Lego branded, and the rest for the 4 bricks an the bottom of the box)

anything that your windows video stuff would has (best guess .avi)

about 2/3 oz (at most). it has a 15 feet cable (in fact, is seems to be some
sort of branded version of the quickcam color USB, just like the "vision
command" one.)
