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 :). --mark
