Afternoon all, For the last couple days I've been trying to find out how to import still images from /dev/video0 directly into the GIMP. Ideally, I'd like to do this with a GIMP plugin rather than using some other app to capture the images and then opening them in GIMP. Someone pointed out to me that SANE has both a v4l frontend and that xscanimage can act as a plugin to the GIMP. So I've downloaded and installed SANE. And it does indeed see /dev/video0 as a legitimate device. I can fire up GIMP and capture an image from /dev/video0. The problem is that the image is quite corrupt. It looks like an interlace related issue, with three separate copies of the image being displayed in the same single capture (perhaps RGB?). The device is properly configured (xawtv starts up with the correct image immediately, and, just in case, I've been setting the device with v4lctl before each attempted capture. Anyway, I realize this is probably more of a SANE issue than a v4l issue. Unfortunately, no one on the SANE mailing list has responded, and the original author of the v4l backend for SANE has posted on that mailing list in a year or so. If anyone can offer any advice on how to get SANE working properly, or if someone knows of another v4l plugin for the GIMP, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam
