I can use xawtv fine for capturing images.
I just tried to capture a movie and it gives an error (I think I need
that the -noxv option so I give that).
Same problem with or without the -noxv option.
Using the ov511-2.22 driver for my Creative WebCam Plus.
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-pre5-ac1)
