And gnomemeeting is fairly nice. -- Juli Mallett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve Will break world for fulltime employment. | finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jmallett/ | Support my FreeBSD hacking!

Why not look at an H.323 application? How about something like GnomeMeeting (/usr/ports/net/gnomemeeting) ? GnomeMeeting can even be made to interoperate other H.323 compliant applications such as Microsoft Netmeeting, but that's probably not so interesting. ;) -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I've used Vic, and wb, but we don't have a mbone to run it on any more really.. uunet was charging for it last I looked.. We need to work out some way to organise our own "Fbone" :-) J To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

It is not a usb camera, i know, we have no support for that in the kernel. One nice feature of vic is that it can capture from a random portion of the screen so you can use it as a primitive whiteboard tool with any program that can produce graphics on your screen. > It'd have been nice if (for example) the KSE talk I did last week > at BAFUG could have been to a wider audience.. well in that specific case just audio would have sufficed :) cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Quickcam
On a related note... I woulder if it might be a worthwhile project to start a "FreeBSD videoconference" project.. i.e. using a set of tools that are definitly supported and a supported videocam, we could say "If you get this camera, and load the following ports, you will be able to take part in conferences by attaching to the following freeBSD address" If we used the old 'wb' tool we could even have discussions that peiple without cameras could follow.. If we got enough regionall FreeBSD using ISPs on board we could do enough load-sharing that it wouldn't kill any particular member. It'd have been nice if (for example) the KSE talk I did last week at BAFUG could have been to a wider audience..

Was that the QuickCam Express? I started doing that also, but John Hay did it first.

Re: Quickcam
I also had good luck with OV511 based cameras. A Google search for that should turn up a lot of good results.
