More sample V4L code can be found in the (GPLed) SPU-Toolbox package (www.spu-toolbox.org). Video capture runs in its own thread, and the user has a choice of polled or callback mode. It's been in use at Carnegie-Melon and Lehigh University for almost two years now, so the code should fundamentally be sound. (Famous last words!) -- Ross J. Micheals rjm2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
