Hi Jon, > Xawtv grabs the Logitech camera and shows video just fine, but > vic chokes and dies with either v4l or v4l2 as a source. What is the console output of vic? i.e. start vic on the command-line and then click transmit in the GUI, e.g.: vic 234.5.6.7/12000 The error output might give a hint. Doug
