Okay thanks, I have no idea what is in the library -- what routines it might actually provide that skype already calls, but which when called in the form provided by the library, would effect such a translation from one format to another. (In effect, this is what that "gst fake video" tried to do, by explicitly replacing in a preloaded library standard functions that skype already called with new ones that did the same as the old ones on every input except /dev/video0 and stuff handed back to them that were returned from such calls. Very kludgy but apparently it worked) _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
