Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I noticed that the 2.1.5 release notes (and not surprisingly, the kernel :) list support for the quickcam -- is there software available that can be used to grab frames from it from the command line? I'd be interested in grabbing images from it every 5 minutes and putting them on the web in an unattended manner using crontab/etc.. Unfortunately, I'm a bit squeezed for time as I'm leaving town for several weeks on Tuesday so would like to pick it up Monday as long as I know it can do what I need. I visited the third-party developers page and found references to vic and nv but have never used these before so am unsure of their function or compatibility. Thanks in advance for any help..
