Hi Gerd and others, It seems that alevtd packaged with xawtv isn't compatible with v4l2? At least, >> if ((vbi->bufsize = ioctl(vbi->fd, BTTV_VBISIZE,&dummy)) == -1) Isn't going to work on v4l2. Is anyone already working to adjust this? Actually - 2nd question. Am I on a limb with v4l2? I originally switched because mp1e required it. But I now see comments in newer bttv versions for some v4l2 API compatibility... Steve
