Hi, For whatever is worth saving images over here is almost instantaneous. rgb16 converts the image to ppm format . In your case, I would modify rgb16.c to just dump the raw frame to disk. Once you managed to get a video source connected to your STB WinTV, try running tv. I am definitely interested on how the driver works in your system since I have not heard of anyone using the video capture drivers on any such systems 8) And, sorry to force you guys to upgrade. Is just that I don't have the bandwith to support old kernels. Have fun, Amancio >From The Desk Of Thomas Arnold : > After the machine I have the STB WinTV card in was upgraded to 2.2-Gamma ( > thanks to Jamie ) the card is detected fine and the device is created. > > Currently since I'm not in the room with the machine I can't hook a camera > up to it, but, I'm getting a blue box which is the default WinTV output > when it can't find a signal for its tuner so it looks like its working. > > I captured the picture using rgb16.c > > Not having used rgb16.c before, how long should it take to capture an > image? It takes upwards of 10-15seconds for it to create the image.
