But v4lsrc is still almost-broken :-). :-) [ large snippage ] Sounds like you have two major steps. The first is replacing/fixing v4lsrc in gstreamer. Since you are doing that, v4l2 support would be nice (I think :-). That sounds like a pure "gstreamer" issue. The work you would do there would relate completely to gstreamer. Once that is done another project, dependent on gstreamer could be invented/started to do the library/gui application. It might be that this part of your project could be encompassed in the OpenPVR project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpvr/). The viewing/capturing application that you envision sounds very much like a major component in the OpenPVR project. What do you think? Am I offbase about any of this? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
