Here is a post about new USB WebCam support you may be interested in. ------- From: "Peter S. Housel" <housel@acm.org> I have written for FreeBSD (and probably NetBSD) a simple-minded image capture program for USB webcams based on the OmniVision Technologies OV511 bridge chip attached to an OV7610 CCD imager. This includes inexpensive webcams such as: This is a simple image capture program for USB webcams based on the OmniVision Technologies OV511 bridge chip attached to an OV7610 CCD imager. This includes webcams such as: * Creative Labs WebCam 3 * D-Link DSB-C300 * Puretek PT-6007 * Koala-Cam * Lifeview RoboCam * AverMedia InterCam Elite * MediaForte MV300 The program is heavily based on the OV511 linux driver by Mark W. McClelland. (See http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/ for more information). Recent versions of that driver support a wider array of cameras; if it supports something that this program doesn't then contact me and I'll see what I can do. You can download version 1.0 of the program at: http://members.home.com/housel/vid-1.0.tar.gz Since USB webcams transfer image data using an isochronous endpoint, support for isochronous transfers in the FreeBSD/NetBSD generic USB device (ugen) driver is required. A patch adding this support is also available on my home page: http://members.home.com/housel/ugen.diff The patch has only been tested under FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. -- Roger Hardiman Strathclyde Uni Telepresence Research Group, Glasgow, Scotland. http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk 0141 548 2897 roger@cs.strath.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
