Hi all,

I appreciate your effort to provide a "video4bsd" facility.

Since Apple is famous for being one of the OS of choice for multimedia
professional work, and Darwin is so closely related to FreeBSD, may I
suggest to check if Darwin already has some of the
APIs/services/subsystems/whatever that might be ported to FreeBSD?

I don't follow Darwin so I cannot say for sure, but I think we should
try to avoid, if possible, the Not Invented Here syndrome ;-)

my two euro cents
Marco
