hi tim,

I read:

i'm curious, if someone has experience with using multiple capture cards or webcams (of the same type) on a linux system with gem ...

I never tried more than two at a time, this basically works but when I last tried (some time ago) I had to rename the modules before loading so I'd get 2 devices in /dev , the usb bandwidth is too small for serious work with more than 2 capture interfaces (and two is about where the fun stops)

HTH
