--zYM0uCDKw75PZbzx Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On May 16, 2002, Farooq Mela sent me the following: > 2) Hook up a camcorder, X10 camera, or similar to a card supported by > the BKTR driver and use bktr2jpeg or similar to capture frames. This > is my current setup and I find it to be less than optimal. We've had a lot of luck using bktr cards with camserv. It provides a built-in web server and some basic image filtering, and can do streaming JPEG (only works in Netscape/Mozilla.) > Are there any other options available? Is somebody working on support > for any newer (USB) webcams? http://ovtvid-bsd.sourceforge.net/ has a program for reading images from various USB webcams. It should work without patches now, but I know it used to require patches to the USB kernel code to make it work, and it didn't work at all on OHCI controllers, but I think that's been fixed. --=20 Chip Marshall <chip@chocobo.cx> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a20>?
