hi, My current system setup is linux7.1, kernel ver 2.4.2, bttv driver ver 7.57, using Flyvideo II for capture of video. I want to upgrade to v4l2 api, so that video frame timestamping can be used to detect frame skips. I intend to download the latest kernel sources, 2.4.14 from the kernel archives and use it. Do I have to apply all the patches, given in the bytesex.org/bttv site for this version also? Is there a version of the kernel that has the patches required for new bttv and v4l2 interface built in it? Thanks in advance, Thenmozhi -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thenmozhi Arunan then@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DV012, Vigyanpura Campus, Multimedia Systems Lab IISc Quarters, (Opp ISRO Headquaters) SuperComputer Educ & Research Centre New BEL Road Indian Institute of Science Bangalore-560094 Bangalore-560012, India.
