Perhaps I wasn't very clear, sorry. What I meant was: When I close xawtv and start vcr, vcr complains. There's really no application using /dev/video0, but I still get it to report as being in use. This problems occurs since yesterday when I first started using a webcam (ov511 module). But, even though unloading doesn't work (busy), xawtv can still be started and works as normal. My webcam is using /dev/video1 and bttv is using /dev/video0. Perhaps I'll first try upgrading the bttv and ov511 driver. thanks anyway, Marcel Janssen
