I am hoping to do 3 trail recordings in the next 3 days (local usergroups on Tue, Wed, Thurs) and then the real thing March 13. What tc version would ya'll recommend?

I found v1.1.0-alpha7 in deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main - I can upgrade to cvs if needed

1.1.0 branch is stabilizing, so you will not lose much (exactly nothing
right now).

[import_v4l.so] warning: this module is deprecated: please use import_v4l2 
instead
Does this imply that it will work with a v4l device?

Hopefully (it largely depends from the specific device driver) yes.

I am now getting different errors:

that's pretty strange, v4l should be enabled IIRC...

...maybe this device driver is stuck on v4l :(
I'll take a deeper look to de documentation and downloadable software

Oh hell, the driver is v4l2.  at least this is what I found in the source:

#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18))
#include <media/v4l2-common.h>

also, first line it sends to dmesg:
[ 5026.156000] Linux video capture interface: v2.00

So I will stop worrying about v4l and assume everything is v4l2.
