I finally have gotten around to getting the capture of a fisheye lens.
We are using a Axis 212PTZ which uses a 3.2Mpixel CMOS detector and a 70degree lens. You can "zoom in" by choosing a 640x480 area of the CMOS giving an effective 3x zoom.
The capture is from mjpg to mpg using VLC. At the end of the capture I turned on the "Guard tour" feature which zooms into the image, quality is good but you can see that straight lines appear bent. We even have customers complaining about the Court House lean.

On another note, I am using Ubuntu server and VLC to output two mosaic channels with 4 TV channel inputs in each. Now if I can just get the STB manufacturers to change audio pids I can deploy to my customers. Can watch 4 games at the same time (or some times commercials).
