Fun fun! :) No so good. I put a copy of the vic binary in ftp://ftp.cs.uwm.edu/outgoing/vic.gz for you? Let me know if this works or you still are having trouble. This is the binary I am current using with the spigot to broadcast the parking lot cam. > > I looked for the tv app in ports, but couldn't find it.

There would have to be a fair amount of work done to the tv app to make it work with the spigot. The tv app referenced above expects data in rgb24 mode from the frame grabber. The spigot can only output in yuv 4:2:2 mode. You would have to convert the 4:2:2 data to RGB 24 data, then display it. You might be able to find some public utilities around to do this. I think fxtv also requires RGB data, but I havn't looked real close at the source code. It would be nice to have fxtv work with all various frame grabbers. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
