Thanks Chris, sending DV seems to work fine now. The problem now is that when I try and receive it (on another machine) the receiving vic hard freezes (there's the listing for the video with a black thumbnail, and the window is completely frozen - I have to kill the process to stop it). I'll attempt to leave the stream sending (to RIT's AG multicast video address, 224.2.224.225/20002) over the weekend, so if anyone could try receiving it, that would be awesome.

That page has some timps about access to the /dev/raw1394 device which is what is needed in this case. One other thing is to ensure the correct vic is actually being run - cd into thye vic directory and run: ./vic ...... rather than just vic ...... chris Christoph Willing +61 7 3365 8350 QCIF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
