Luc, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately making the movie with mencoder or motion is not an option for me as I am running the code on a Linksys NSLU2. This one has a 266 Mhz ARM cpu without floating point instructions (so mpeg encoding is out of my league).
However, meanwhile I found a way to play back the raw data. This was triggered by this page: http://users.tkk.fi/~jlohikos/tleds/public/QuickCam_Pro_4000-Linux_mplayer_howto.html The actual incantation is mplayer -rawvideo on:fps=15:w=176:h=144 filename where of course after fps, w and h you need to provide the proper values. Best regards, Frans. (by the way: motion does work on this hardware for detecting movement and save pictures) --- Luc Saillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Oct 18, 2005 at 07:21:21AM -0700, Frans > Meulenbroeks wrote: > > cat /dev/video0 >videofile > > if you do this, you dump frame in yuv2 format.
