Friend of mine in Vancouver just got ahold of a QuickCam for her computer, and I'm wondering what I require at my end in order to receive video from her. I *thought* CuSeeMe had a Unix port, but so far as I can see, its only available for Mac/Windows. So, mainly, is there a port to Unix, or some similar software that I require for my end? :) Thanks...

Sender: owner-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Qcam Contest ------------------- I have convinced the powers that be here in Atlanta (various and sundry Internet Service Providers), that it would be great for the dial-up and leased-line business if people could videoconference between them from any type of platform (especially Linux) as well, if not better than they can from Win95. I told them that there needs to be a freely available driver that would allow people to hook their Connectix Qcam to a UNIX workstation so they could do it pretty cheaply. To cut to the chase, they agreed to put up $10,000.00 (that's U.S.) as an incentive for people to do it. So I have decided that the first person who creates a driver that will work with vic (version 2.7a38) and the connectix qcam on the following platforms will receive $1000.00 per platform. HP 700 (HPUX 10.X) IBM AIX Linux BSD Solaris SunOS DEC OSF/1 SGI IRIX Windows NT AT&T SVR4 Vic source is available from: ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/conferencing/vic/alpha-test/ If you get all 10 platforms going, and are the first one to get the compilable working source to me, you will receive a $10,000.00 certified check (You can also collaborate, but it's still $1000.00 per driver to your group). Now Vic has been ported to all of these platforms, and Koji OKAMURA has created grabber-gcam.cc for vic using libqcam.a. It should be pretty simple port for some of you brainy guys on this mailing list. Now, there is one more thing... I've decided to ask for at least 10 frames per second at 160x120 6bpp. There is always a catch :-) We can't be any slower that the guys running Windows 95 can we? I know that some of you are gonna say it's impossible, or that offering money goes against the spirit of this group. That is fine and you are welcome to your opinion but don't e-mail me with it! Legalese: 1. First received is determined by the judges (me). I am not responsible for lost e-mail. 2. I must be able to compile it on my systems at work. If I can't, you are welcome to help me. I will judge you by the date I received the code, not by the date I get it to compile (don't send crap and then send a fix in order to get in early!) I will only upgrade the compiler (most of the time gcc) ar add a new development tool if needed to compile the code. 3. It must be the full source, not partial or just binaries. 4. The judges (my) decisions are final! 5. You are responsible for taxes on your prize winnings. 6. Equipment must be standard (No 1000 megahertz pentiums, custom controller interfaces, etc.) 7. You give up all rights to the code once you receive the check. Don't come back to me after we GPL it and say you didn't want to do that. 8. Send your contest questions to me, not the mailing list!!! mikech@avana.net 9. These contest rules are subject to change in order to comply with state or federal law. You will be notified of changes by e-mail. 10. The winning code will be place on an anonymous ftp server so that everyone can share the wealth. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any questions? mikech@avana.net I will be setting up a web page to keep you appraised of driver status and winners of the contest.

That's all good and fine however the Matrox Meteor or OmniMedia's Meteor clone plus ccd cameras are no match for the quickam. Yes, the Meteors plus ccd do high quality color video, however they are about 6 times more expensive. -russ http://www.crynwr.com/~nelson Crynwr Software | Crynwr Software sells packet driver support | PGP ok 11 Grant St. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | If you would seek peace, Potsdam, NY 13676 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | first seek freedom From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Apr 4 01:49:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-multimedia Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA16468 for multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 01:49:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.rwth-aachen.de (mail.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.144.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA16445 for ; Thu, 4 Apr 1996 01:48:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de) by mail.rwth-aachen.de (PMDF V5.0-4 #13110) id <01I3557SH0V400070J@mail.rwth-aachen.de> for multimedia@freebsd.org; Thu, 04 Apr 1996 11:47:15 +0100 Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.6.11/8.6.9) id LAA17387 for multimedia@freebsd.org; Thu, 04 Apr 1996 11:53:42 +0200 Date: Thu, 04 Apr 1996 11:53:42 +0200 From: "Christoph P.

Is it a byte at a time through the parallel port? Or is it via a strobe pin by means of a serial coding technique? Does it produce interrupts? I'm wondering why - at least in the Win95 version (cuseeme or quickmovie) - it hogs the CPU terribly. Also the frame rate still seems to leave desires. --Chris Christoph P. U.

Pop up the controls and tweak away. Try turning down the white balance.

You're missing the best part! ;-) Check out http://www.cynwyr.com/qcpc Make sure you grab the patches for FreeBSD, then apply and compile. Should compile without a problem. > I also checked ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/vic2.7a37.gz and it > coredumped right away. :-( I haven't tried a libqcam.a VIC yet (if there is one, where is it?); there is supposedly a working one for the qcam kernel driver in -current.
