Input is from V4L1 webcams (tried linux-kmod-compat +gspca, I believe it should work with the 'pwc' driver that you mention), or from the X11 screen through an embedded x11-grabber (convenient for testing). It does have some interoperability problems, but no worse than those that i found in many similar apps including ekiga, linphone, openwengo, x-lite. Even the windows softphones usually have all sort of crashes when pointed to each other (for the records, the best piece of software i tried in windows was kapanga). cheers luigi > directly from the SVN repository (and not from the FreeBSD's ports > collection); the reason was mainly driven by the hope of staying with > the cutting edge of Ekiga and get support of codec H.264 to make H.323 > video conf calls to the central video conferencing system we are using > in my company; work is still in progress, but if someone is interested > in the actual port (or in debugging :-)), the work is described here: > http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD > > matthias > -- > Matthias Apitz > Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH > Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany > t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 > e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ > b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ > Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html > A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. > Q: Why is it such a bad thing? > A: Top-posting. > Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet and in e-mail? > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
