Hey I just had an importand realization (Little step for Mankind - good one for me :) I could just run a Video-cat in a Java Exec Shell and receive the stdOut output stream easily in my Java program... Only that I don't really know the command that does the cat - or should i compile Gleicon's dog ? So am I then going to get just the sequential representation of the raster data ? Help me Please I am a beginner =] (relatively) The only thing that worked for me so far is xawtv ... ( and now I am using mandrake 7.2) (I am hoping to use this with a Bt878 based framegrabber as well as a CPIA ParPort Cam) I guess it will depend on the mode how many bits per pixel and all that Is there a fairly easy to understand documentation for that kind of thing... Are the Swiss Programmers still on line that previously implemented a Java Interface ? Thanks for your Patience ! Tobias
