There is a nice page about multimedia for Linux: http://www.multimedia4linux.de/ Unfortunately, it's in german. (Fortunately, I speak german ;-> ). There a lot's of links to multimedia software and I took a quick view. It seems, that only very few apps support the V4L2 interface, but quite a lot the bttv driver and (amount growing) the V4L interface (including broadcast 2000). The only commercial vendor of multimedia software I found is mainconcept with it's video editing software Mainactor, which uses V4L2... According to the V4L2 homepage, there is a compatibility layer for "old" V4L software, so if we had a V4L2 interface, everything should be quite nice. Sure, most software is available as source, but porting it to FreeBSD is not everyones beer. I think, it would be quite nice to have the same interface on FreeBSD. Maybe we could ask the Linux people to rename it to something like Video4Unix if it works for us... -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
