Thanks.  Yes, I had grabbed the VideoServiceH264 from svn ;-)

I'll try those suggestions, but should clarify something.  This isn't a case of the devices 
switching names - the cameras are consistently getting the same/correct device names (webcam = 
video0 and bttv = video1) - and even Vic is reporting the correct device at thumbnail BUT it is 
grabbing the wrong device.  The attached screenshot should show the issue better.

Email for clarification.

Cheers,

Todd
