Well, I'm at least getting wavy lines in my window which somewhat resemble the camera image, depending on various COL/ROW settings. But I'm still not there.
Some questions:
1. Are the bt878 frame grabbers? My ioctls are saying no. But I'm wondering if it's a matter of something else.
2. If I set the ROWS and COLS to anything but 300 x 200 or 400 x 200, I get a garbled image.
3. Image is ONLY B&W.
4. How do I set things like PAL, NTSC, etc?? I tried using the VIDIOCSTUNER ioctl but got an error ... assuming my card has no tuner (Osprey 100).
Anyone have some comments on the following code? I found most of it on the web, don't ask me where at this point as I've been searching everywhere.
Quick compile:
cc -c grab.c `gtk-config --cflags`
cc grab.o -o grab `gtk-config --libs`
Thanks,
DT
