Yes, I've tried and used xawtv. As a plain X application, it is quite good, but I'm looking for the KDE version that fits in with the rest of my desktop. > > I don't know why kde is moving forward with KwinTV ?...

Quite an improvement over the last several times I tried to get it working. I still can not capture video yet, but xawtv won't do that for me either, so I don't think it's kwintv's fault. When I tried to set it up for video capture, kwintv hung and I had to kill several processes before it stopped completely, but I think that is more my set-up that kwintv. Otherwise, I see no major crashes, yet. Now that I've got it working, I'll play around with it for a while. One thing though, I did have to run v4l-conf manually before kwintv would start? Not sure why? When I tried to start kwintv, it said it was running v4l-conf, but it would fail? When I ran v4l-conf, it ran fine and now kwintv works fine also? Again, it might just be something wrong with my set-up. > > Chris: > > > >Thank you for your info as well.
