I would describe V4L and V4L2 as software in the Linux kernel that helps to use cameras with Linux. They provide a common programming interface for different kinds of cameras. To capture video using the program "vgrab.c", it needs to be modified to continuously capture and display pictures, instead of storing a single picture as a file. One way to display the captured pictures is with the library called 'SDL'. Can you determine if it is installed on your computer? If it is not, can you install it? (A google search for SDL will find the website to download it.) Another possibility for displaying pictures is with the 'X11' library, but it is more complicated. -Mike Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/invite/
