Hi, I've been maintaining the old cpia driver, which supports the Intel QX3 USB microscope (as well as certain obsolete webcams) That device has a button which (in the windows driver) (1) if held pressed,causes a "movie" to be recorded until it is released, or (2) if just pressed and immediately released, records a single-frame "snapshot". Right now, all the cpia driver does with the button is to record its instantaneous state in the /proc/cpia/video<n> interface. Someone asked on the cpia mailing list about this. Do these states "start/stop recording the video stream to a file", or "save the current frame to a file" correspond to any appropriate Video4Linux interface calls that might be easy to add to the driver? Thanks for any suggestions.
