By the way, I went back into windows just to make sure,, and had Netmeeting with codec updates call my laptop with the winov as the capture card, so the format of the winov can be sent via the codecs fine.. likewise the rev I have on my laptop worked with my ibmcam fine too..
What I want is for either this winov -> camcorder combo to work or the winov drivers to co exist with the ibmcam.o module.. IE put the ibmcam on video1 .. It wont insmod once winov support is installed..
Did a debug dump from xawtv,
v4l2: new capture params (384x240, YUYV, 184320 byte)

this grabs for xawtv fine,,
In gnomemeeting tried,,,
1015 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" BGR24 --type string
1021 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" BGR24 --type string
1025 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YUV --type string
1027 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YUV42 --type string
1031 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YUV420 --type string
1037 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 --type string
1043 gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" RGBP --type string
1048 history |grep gconf
no luck ..
Also on my laptop the ibmcam is fine with everything except avicap.. It just wont insmod once I hav videum support installed.. ibmcam.o standard module

Quoting Auzie Morgan <auzie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Ok Xawtv, Avicap (avifile nice easy build divx encoder / player and more) No problem,, Gomemeeting and my IBMCAM driver,, no go.. Gnome meeting cant seem to translate the device pallet? Your driver doesn't support the rgb15l format.It does not, indeed. It had been decided that a v4l driver should only produce the stream in one format, preferrably closest to the native device format (palette). A driver must not convert palettes - this is difficult to do in kernel space, awkward to do without FPU, makes the driver much more complicated and crash-prone, and pollutes the kernel space with similar-but-different pieces of conversion code (in each driver). The ibmcam driver produces BGR24 - this is almost the native format in many IBM/Xirlink cameras. It is gnomemeeting's responsibility to take one of standard formats and make use of it. xawtv, for example, does exactly that.Please check your kernel driver documentation in order to determine which Palette is supported. Set it as GnomeMeeting default with: gconftool --set "/apps/gnomemeeting/devices/color_format" YOURPALETTE --type stringIf gnomemeeting can be configured for BGR24, then it should work. Couple of years ago I wrote a patch for voxilla (openH.323 client) to accept BGR24, and the patch is still somewhere on http://www.linux-usb.org.I also have an ibmcam but it doesnt like the videodevX setup.. :(I don't understand that, sorry. You'd better be more specific :-) Dmitri
