OK, got the backtrace. The battle plan follows. - first and foremost, let's use CVS HEAD as a testbed. I'll be happier testing 1.1.0-RCs, but after a bit of thinking CVS HEAD is better in the end, we have more liberty to modify the code; only the fixes will be backported. [- as a sidenote, looks like I'll be able a reproduce a segfault reported by you on my box using 1.1.0 and vivi. I'll work on that ASAP]. - I'm updating the transcode's import_v4l module, mainly but not only for this task. I'm afraid v4l v1 will stay around for a while, and I've some interest in offering some support. - I've some tests and fixes on my queue, but I'm having hard time in finding some time for applying. - A fair amount of try-report-fix-retry loops will likely be required. I hope this will not be a problem too big. Bests, -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt http://fromani.exit1.org ::: transcode homepage http://tcforge.berlios.de ::: transcode experimental forge
