The main differences between the two modes seems to be - zoom support in webcam mode - additional extension unit in motion dv mode (unknown purpose) - mjpeg format in webcam mode, dv format in motion dv mode - audio support in webcam mode I'll first try to add support for selector units and media transport input terminals, which are needed by both modes. When done, it should be possible to use the camera in webcam mode. We will then focus on supporting dv format.
