For video you can use the mbone tools (vic). For a webcam there is no (known to me) tool available, yet. But it should be pretty simple to write a program, that just grabs an image and writes it as jpeg to a file accessible by a webserver. IIRC, there is a programm in "examples" on Rogers website, which does it already... ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/examples/grab.c Ah, I see. It just writes ppm. But adding jpeg using libjpeg isn't that big deal. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
