You could try re- installing VLC from /usr/ports, which now builds with V4L support by default, and open it up there. Compare with Ubuntu again. If it doesn't work on Ubuntu, then it is not very likely to work with webcamd. --HPS ___ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
