Hi Mark, just searching "0c45:612a gspca" could save you lot of time. I suppose you were looking at the old gspca homepage, because it listed on Jean F. Moine site http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html ( it dont know even it that page if still updated ) About the "gstreamer", what kind of troubles are you having?. It's the webcam streaming? Did you follow the steps using libv4lconvert?. I wrote that patch a year ago, so , if there's any problem let me know. If you need help, about the lib4vlconvert thing, look at deaglecito.blogspot.com Best Regards Costantino Leandro On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 12:08 PM, MK <halfcountplus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks much for the feedback!
