I've downloaded this driver and have configured it for the WinCast/TV board but I haven't found much programming info. I want to be able to set the TV channel and then capture a single frame. I've found freq.c which explains how to change the channel, now I need to know how to set the resolution and capture a single frame. Is the Brooktree similar to the meteor driver? I currently have a utility that will capture a frame from the meteor card and create a web page for display. I'm trying to duplicate this behavior with the much cheaper winCast/TV card. If someone can send me a sample piece of code to capture a single frame similar to what is included in the meteor man page I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Dave Porko dave@dapo.com
