So I manually create it by unpacking a tar archive: Are you talking about bttv2 from sourceforge? Ugggh, that seems very outdated. Hopefully you're actually using bttv-0.8.83 from http://www.bytesex.org/bttv which seems to handle the v4l option fine for me., including a nice new MAKEDEV script that updates some of the previously messy dev files. (though you might have to do a "mv /dev/video /dev/video.bakup" beforehand if you want to save some old DVD device files.) And versions of xawtv from 3.68-3.70 are all working fine with this setup as well. -- Bill Eldridge Radio Free Asia bill@xxxxxxx
