Is there any other documentation that gives an overview of the steps it takes to grab images from a tuner card? I have found the following documentation http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.3/doc/video4linux/API.html, which has been very helpful, but it is a little terse (I know, I know, what do I expect for free :) Is the read() call grabbing an image based on the capture settings or based on the frame buffer settings? The problem I am having at this point is that my read(fd, buffer, bufsize) call is "blocking". It never returns...no error, no nothing. I set the size of the buffer equal to the width*height*(depth/2) found in framebuffer. That seems correct to me. I set the framebuffer base to 0 to prevent the tuner from directly writing to my video card (I just want to capture images, not display them). I realize I am probably going about this all wrong, but I don't know where to find example programs, documentation, etc... Thanks in advance, Aaron Freeman Loudfire, Inc.
