thanks for pointing this out, I have the nv3.3 original sources,
but I did not know the package was out in the ports area.

I started to write a driver for a cheap and shitty (I can't think of another
word) video capture card for a dedicated nv FreeBSD machine (if you knew how
the card worked, you would know why it has to be dedicated to the capture
application). I have written RGB "grabber" into nv compiled on Sun OS,
so once I have the capture driver written with 24 bit RGB values, the rest
is done. someone even asked if I could/would add a grabber for a card that
has a Linux driver, I syill have you name/address and I haven't forgot you,
I was just sidelined with a more pressing mbone request.

that more pressing multicast problem (from the people that pay me) is vat. I
am still trying to figure out what has been done and what needs to be done.

yep, maybe FreeBSD "discussion" will be coming to your desktop RSN :).
