This sounds like a VGA version of the Snappy, a device by Play,
which captures stills from composite video, and connects to a PC via a
bi-directional parallel port. Those can be had for about $13, since
Play folded. I have one, and have found it useful.
Handy to know. I didn't realize they were so cheap now.
