[GEM-dev] pix_video CVS broken?? (gem 0.90 build fails)

[B. Bogart]

Hey all,

I thought I would try a little experiment with the computer controlled
cmaera today, but alas so many issues.

The plan was to use Gem to capture single jpeg frames at each state of
camera movement. The problem is I can't get pix_video to show anything!
There are 4 video4l devices on this machine, I'm using /dev/video0 xawtv
sees the video fine if I choose NTSC, and composite. No matter what I send
to pix_video I can't get it to texture anything.

I spent the most time with the "mode ntsc $1" messages w/out luck.

Is anyone using pix_video with a video4linux device (this is a bt848) with
gem CVS?

Also I could not compile Gem 0.90 from gem.iem.at because it fails to find
GL on this system! (a fedora core2 I did not set up myself..) I just
installed the nvidia driver today. I'll try copying the pix_video src from
0.90 into my CVS src I guess.

Thanks
B.
