Hi video4linux is the only way to access the kernel video device. gstreamer certainly helps in making the video/audio code portable. In the webcam examples on the maemo website a video4linux2 "source" is used and the gstreamer framework displays the data.
There are also many existing programs that use v4l directly (ffserver,mplayer?) see: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_camera_api_bora.html the paragraph Camera manipulation in the Python language so see how easy it can be done greetings On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 6:51 PM, Merrick Fonnesbeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've read some about accessing the camera on the N800 and N810 devices, and > I want to build a custom application that takes the video from the camera > and send it through a server component and then to another device across the > internet either using SIP or H323.
