How Do I take a jpeg picture every 1/2 second from a tvcard?

Is there any software that will allow me to do this, or could it be done via a simple script? I know how to set up the tvcard - but what software will allow me a take a jpeg ever 1/2 second....

The box is purely for home security - the camera is connected the the svhs port of the tv card. I gather xaxtv would seem to fit the bill. Will this work? I don't want video cos' that's going to take up too much space!

any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

regards
