Hi Folks, Hoping to get something that would allow both vic and v4lctl to control a single /dev/video source, I took code from the vloop examples and the QCE project and made a usermode program called vidsplit that is downloadable from: http://www.ednet.ns.ca/~macleajb/vidsplit.html No, unfortunately it is not even fast enough for video conferencing at 15fps. But for fun you can: . run 2 xawtv's from one /dev/video source with different sizes . run a modified vic and use v4lctl to change channels . take an RGB24 source at one size and connect to it using RGB24 or YUV422(P) at another size and it will scale the image for you. . run motion off one source and vic off the other. . burn up all unused CPU cycles in your machine. Even on an Athalon 1G this does not go very fast, but if all you have is a USB video source :) it's probably ok. Maybe this should be a module so that it does less memory copying? Maybe I just have it coded very wrong :(? Maybe Gerd already had all this in the newer bttv drivers :)? I need an RGB24 -> YUV420P convertor so I can try it with FFSERVER. Any way, it's something to play with if you are into that sort of thing :-). Take care, JES -- James B.
