Currently I am using camserv, which although is a great app, leaves some- thing to be desired by the IE users (which I kind of enjoy, but the client does not) because IE does not stream multi-part jpegs. Anyway, I installed Real Producer and have run into the video4linux problem that seems to surface from time to time on this list. Unfortunately I can't find any resolution to this issue here. Is V4L on *BSD a dead horse? Does anyone have any better ideas on encoding and streaming on FBSD that uses any modern codecs? Does anyone have bktr device code that works with V4L? I mknod'ed video, but RealProducer wasn't fooled. I need some guidance. I REALLY don't want to have to switch to Linux - I love BSD but need to service the masses of windoze users. Damn. I need to learn C++ and solve these problems myself... Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
