This would result in a framerate of 300fps which is not very likely to be possible soon with linux. Or do you want to capture three successive images with a response time of 10ms? In which case you will have a problem to, if you capture with 25fps (asuming pal source) you will get a worst case respons time of atleast 40ms. For your previous question regarding ioctls and mmap you might want to read the v4l API document in Documentation/video4linux in the kernel tree. Looking at a few other apps will also make things clearer. (My own app is at motion.technolust.cx) If have no problems with going through some kernel source looking at a few v4l drivers is also a great way of getting to know v4l. Jeroen
