Then, you can find or make by yourself a quartz composer composition with live input that you can add to you media browser. I think it's better than a flash object in terms of performances. This quartz composer will choose the next input available so if you put it first in layer one, you'll have one camera, then you can assign it to layer two and you'll have an other camera, etc.
Maybe you should try with two cameras first before buying too many things.
The video mixer is also a good solution!

i don't know about the quartz composer workthrough which i would love to try out soon, but for the flash objects work around it does work with multiple USB video inputs.
yet indeed there seems to be a problem with multiple firewire ins, have not managed to get two FW video in recognized on a regular set up, the first one plugged in masks the other.
there must be a work around, but it probably involves expensive multi-input FW hardware rather than a software approach
multiple USB feeds + one FW input however is no problem, using flash or, i guess, the QC approach.

I want to use 4 live inputs, before i go to the shop and buy 3 more datavideo transformers, i wanna know if that's gonna work in modul8!

. have you thought of a more analog solution? maybe you could find an analog security camera system that shows all four inputs, quater size, on the screen and send the out put of that through your converter? then use modul8 to crop the bits out you don't want to see...
. just a thought
