Hi all,
went to recompile avifile after updating to videodevX + bttv2, but
there seems to be an incompatability with videodevX causing capture
utilities (qtvidcap in the distribution (which, BTW needs some GUI
touchups to enable window expanding when fonts are larger (especially
notebook tabs need to expand when window made larger) than expected),
and vcr also) seems the fourcc macro now takes four arguments...
Here is the attempted compile of qtvidcap...
Making all in qtvidcap

And here is the offending macro from the new videodev.h (from
videodevX)...
#define fourcc(a,b,c,d)\
(((__u32)(a)<<0)|((__u32)(b)<<8)|((__u32)(c)<<16)|((__u32)(d)<<24
)
Also sending this message to the Avifile mailing list.
