Anyone else out there have any ideas? I used to do this as well, at some point of time there was a 13894 driver in the kernal that allowed you access to your video camera, at some point 2.6.26 I think this module was removed - declared a security problem - afaik there hasn't been an alternative method introduced.... you can build your own kernal and compile it in and then dvgrab should work again! > > Thanks for your help, > > Michael > > -- BOFH excuse #379: We've picked COBOL as the language of choice.
