Hi, I got (very) basic MJPEG capture/display running with the DC1(plus) and released it in the new version 0.5.0. It works with PAL, 384x288 pixel, 25fps (more is not possible ;-)) Get it at: http://www.net4you.net/users/scherr/dc1plus/ Next step is writing some tools for it, as it still creates unusable 'raw' files containing the streams. I just consider using the same ioctl's as the Buz/DC10 to support lavrec/lavplay... Some other suggestions??????? Then there is also the open NTSC/SECAM support, but I'm missing some test-sources.... Bye, Wolfgang The INSTALL file: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * THIS DRIVER NEEDS A KERNEL >= 2.2.x WITH INSTALLED VIDEO4LINUX INTERFACE. * I used 2.2.15 for developing/testing. * compile this driver by simple starting 'make' in this directory * Check if the wrapper program './up' is owned by 'root:root' and has a set SUID bit * run './up' to load the driver (as user) * test it with xawtv (I used v2.46) * a simple test program for streaming is ./jpeg_test - it does following: - loads the driver - does a uncompressed 5-picture grab - plays the uncompressed grab - does a compressed 50-picture grab (75%) - plays the compressed grab - loads the driver again * after grabbing a MJPEG stream you should reload the driver as it has still some open bugs (e.g. xawtv crashes after a compressed grab...) * switching between compressed and uncompressed mode is done via the proc interface: - 'cat /proc/dc1_compression' switches compression ON (75%) - 'cat /proc/dc1_plain' switches compression OFF * additional info is in the source of the driver (dc1plus.c) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
