I have successfully (and painfully!) managed to get correct quality video out 
of ZoneMinder zoneminder-1.22.3, on 6.2-RELEASE-p4 with the LMLBT4M card.
(card info on http://www.linuxmedialabs.com/product_details.php?prodid=320).

However i cant instantiate a second instance of the video capture daemon of 
zoneminder (zmc), because of a "/dev/bktr0: Device busy" error.

Is it possible to open /dev/bktr0 from two programms at the same time?
