These programs use the xvideo feature of X server. If you start the xawtv with -noxv parameter you get some result like up. When you use the xvideo you cant capcturing, beceuse this only copy the "captured" data to video memory. Theoriticaly the km make pipeline betwen the xvideo and the kernel space v4l. If you start xawtv and select some chanel, then load the km modules, you will get a new v4l type interface aka /dev/video0. If you lucky, you can record from it. But you cant change chanel, etc over this interface. Best way if you buy a cheap pctv card, this will work perfectly, without any black magic. (blood of virgin at full moon, etc) udv Csaba
