EasyCAP is a label for USB video capture sticks, with competely different hardware, and consequently different Linux drivers. I got the USBTV007 variant, with USB product/vendor 1b71:3002, based on a chip labelled UTV007.

The driver in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS works nicely (Linux kernel 3.13), at least in PAL mode (720x576), composite video. Running mplayer tv:// (click to enlarge):

Video source is a Canon IXUS 70 camera (PAL mode).
