I have borrowed a Logitech Quickcam messenger (046d:08f0) from my brother. Got the driver working (in essence it creates the /dev/video0) but it keeps crashing my players. Mplayer and ffmpeg crashes, Xawtv manages to get moving images for about a second and crashes afterwards.
So got to figure that one out tonight, got good hopes it will work at the end of the evening. Thanks Herman On 1/10/07, zentara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't think you will notice much of a speed difference, the main slow down is the startup of the Perl script, and either way will take that time. Once they get going, either mencoder/ffmpeg or the FFmpeg module will be using c to do the recording. I had trouble building FFMPEG-6036, but mplayer/mencoder installs easily. >Thanks for the fast responses >Herman If you get it going, it would be nice to share your script at a place like http://perlmonks.org, in the Snippets section, or Cool Uses for Perl. zentara -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. http://zentara.net/japh.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
