You could use a number of things I'm sure. I used Roger's 'grab.c' from his FTP site for the BrookTree[1] obtainable here: ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/examples/ and added the line: "grab -type ppm -format ntsc -source 1 -settle 0.75 -output $tmpfile", # *B SD BT848 into the my_programs array in the 'xscreensaver-getimage-video' perl script, and set XScreenSaver up to "Grab Video Frames" in the xscreensaver-demo dialog. Works great. This just grabs the last TV channel you were watching. Drat, I always meant to let Jamie know this, as he specifically asked people to let him know. It'd be nice if someone added something like this to the xscreensaver port too, perhaps with a HAVE_BT848 option. :) Although it'd be nicer still if someone were to extend 'grab' a tad, so that it'd use a defaults file with user preferences (mostly so you didn't need so many options on the command line), possibly change channels/use random channels/sources etc. Cheers, AS --==_Exmh_-1628018780P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE8bvhmPHh895bDXeQRAtOkAJ4uTe7VR+9QGjXW+qUJyh9JIUUS+gCgs9e8 ssnRPhXUjQGqAH0vOwV3oqk= =kRb4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1628018780P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
