Hi, if u really want 25 fps - u have to use v4l2 - the normal kernel stuff ( v4l1 ) only gives u 12 fps ( my expirience ;) ). I don't know the driver for this card ( i only used bt8xx cards till now ), u have to check if it works with 25 fps ! A good base to start reading is www.bytesex.org ( but i don't know, if u'r driver works with the v4l2 api ). Btw. why do u want bmp images? Maybe it's better to store them as jpg,png/pnm or tga - there are good libraries to do that :). If u want ascii - try xpm ;). This is alot of data, what uwant to store, so be prepared to have a good disk/strong processor :).
