I'm going to move this over to multimedia@freebsd.org, where the majority of our mbone and bt848 people hang out. On Mon, 21 Apr 1997, David M.

I have the mbone tools mentioned above working perfectly on FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA. I'm using a Gravis Ultrasound Plug & Play for audio and a Hauppauge WinCast/TV for video in. The GUS is full duplex, and the WinCast has a tuner onboard. Doubles as a extra-crisp television. The WinCast and other BT848-based boards (STB TV/PC, others) are supported by a driver you'll have to fetch and install, which is not difficult at all. The driver still has some rough edges but is coming along *very* nicely. I still need to rebuild with the latest version of the driver to see if they've fixed some lagging bugs, especially one with vic. The info page for the bt848 is http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/HomeAuto/Bt848.html The GUS also requires some changes to the kernel to get it to support PnP. The appropriate file is ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp6.tar.gz For a while, I had a quickcam that would multicast. I still have the software to do that. Frame rate is horrible but it gets the picture out.
