Hi, I'm not sure if this helps, but.... Have you looked in to the following URL? http://www2.starcat.ne.jp/~takam/bsd/NetBSD.html This page has some info on getting some USB camera running on NetBSD and FreeBSD. Hope this helps, Haro From: "Kevin Oberman" <oberman@es.net> Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 12:48:48 -0700 ::> Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 17:36:21 +0300 ::> From: Oleg Korecky <lw@land.ru> ::> Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org ::> ::> ::> Did sombody know how I able grab video stream from USB camera ? ::> ::> Sorry for my bad english! :: ::Far better than my Russian! :: ::I'm afraid FreeBSD currently lacks support for USB video devices.
