We did the latest/greatest 2.2.7 + cvsup and the current WinTV card is recognized and probed okay. However, 'fxtv' does not display any video, with either a noteworthy pcmcia-kit camera or a Sony handycam as input. The TV (antenna) input gives static (no antenna, so no surprise there) so maybe it works but a video feed just gives (keeps) a blue screen. fxtv doc (that there is) still refers to bt848, not bt878. ...? Meanwhile, 'man vic' doesn't list the WinTV card, or much of anything vaguely current ... I get the impression that mbone development is about where it was 2 years ago. Just say "yup uhuh" and it means the video mbone tools need a hacker to bring them up to date if the FreeBSD-supported video and MBONE-supported video is to have a nonempty intersection ... sigh, etc. -ecsd@transbay.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
