For as bad as it can be, I am not really sure that the PCMCIA bus has the necessary bandwidth to support uncompressed video, so you either end up with low res/frame rate, or with an already compressed stream and your chances to be able to decode it severely decrease. (also this is trivial but if you just need to send screendumps you can use our x11 grabber module for vic) luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
