Check out Mark Tinguely's page "Multimedia Video Capture on FreeBSD": http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~tinguely/mbone-freebsd/video.html We at MITRE are using the Talisman Sequence P1S (which is recognized as a Matrox Meteor) together with the Matrox driver cited on Mark's page. It works great with vic. I don't know offhand what application you would use with it to get priodic snapshots. Bob MITRE Washington Networking Center
