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.

Because xawtv is good, but it's still a plain X application, with the poor
motif-type decorations and looks rather poor on a KDE desktop.

Got and installed these and gave them a bit of a test today. 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.
