hi gem'ers
i have just committed some changes to the CVS, mainly these are: added new colour-conversions in GemPixUtil.cpp (these should reside in GemPixConvert.cpp (with subclasses GemPixConvert_mmx.cpp and GemPixConvert_altivec.cpp)) rather...)
have finally made a working (on my system ;-)) videoDV4L. to make it work, you will have to have libdv2 and libdv2-dev packages installed (on debian systems. on other systems i don't know yet) and you need the dv1394-module loaded (only on new! (should be 2.4.21 i think) kernels). this should create /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/PAL/in and similar devices with devfs. (you will need these !!)
finally, make a [pix_video] object, and send it a "[driver 1(" message (which will switch from video4linux (0) to df1394)
features: capture dv in greyscale, yuv and rgba
bugs: very unstable (crashes when stopping the rendering chain and reopening it) no resizing (so only native NTSC/PAL resolution) other bugs
