Do you know if > freebsd can support this kind of video output device? if I understand you correctly, the video image is aleady being displayed in a X window running on a FreeBSD and you wish to send this video to a video conferencing program. the application "nv" (in ports/net) can do select a X window as a video source, but the X display running the video source and nv but be running in 8 bit mode. see the information for nv. If I am mis-understanding your question and if you are capturing from an external source, then you will need a capture card. see: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~tinguely/mbone-freebsd/ for supported capture cards. --mark.
