Camserv is a v4l1 program. If you have a uvc webcam you may have to start camserv like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camserv
Also you could try my configuration files.
wget http://www.rockafunk.org/camserv.tar.gz
Extract camserv.tar.gz and copy the directory to...
Hi, I think you use the port version. This version only use the bktr driver. If you want to use the version that will work with webcamd you will need a patched version. You could try:

This file include a lot of patches including Camserv. I...
My FreeBSD version is (8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #21 r209545M). The patches for the audio worked and now the mic on my logitec webcam record the sound in skype_static-2.1.0.81. With the video and audio working this version is usable. Many thanks!
Skype_static-2.2.0.25 has all the...
Patches work
I can confirm that your patches work. The video in skype is working en wxcam en guvcview are still working. I had to tweak the patched /usr/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_ioctl.c on my system ( 8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #17 r209545M ).
Many thanks!!!!!
There are two versions of cinelerra: the heroin version and the community version. You can build them on linux and copy them to FreeBSD. Forget building a static version. You will have to change a lot and soon run into trouble. Cinelerra needs many dependencies and you will run into trouble when...
In the FreeBSD-handbook you can find all the information how to set this up.

It looks like the maintainer of the nut port has fallen asleep. Don't misunderstand me, I like the man. I have taken the nut-2.4.1 port as a base and create the nut-2.4.3 and 2.6.0 port. I am not the maintainer of this port but if you want to try them, you can download the new ports at...
I have an old Fedora core 3 machine for doing multimedia. But I have upgrade the kernel from source and it runs the latest versions of most programs. So this machine is not realy FC3 but it is my own fedora core whatever. I also run Fedora 6 and 7. In the past I have tried Suse, Mandrake...
Atari -> Atari MiNT -> RedHat Linux -> FreeBSD -> OpenBSD -> NetBSD. Today I use FreeBSD and Linux Fedora and I like porting linux software to FreeBSD.
My first contact with unix was installing an unix like OS on a Atari Falcon030. This OS was named MiNT and it was my first experience with Unix. After that I installed Redhat Linux 7.2 on a pc. Two months later I was experimenting with FreeBSD. I love Unix!!!!!
I would like to create the ports but I have to do a lot of reading and that may take some time. My experience with writing a port from scratch is very little at the moment. I have edited and upgraded some existing ports that were left alone by the maintainers. That is why any help is welcome. If...
pwcview
You are right. The program pwcview is just a program to view /dev/video0. The driver does not matter for pwcview. The pwc driver however is just for webcams supporting this driver. If you dont have such a webcam you dont have to load the pwc driver. So you are right!
Hi zeiz, if your webcam supports the pwc driver you should only load that driver. If you put webcamd_enable="YES" in your rc.conf the webcamd driver will load on boot. And when you then do webcamd -d ugen2.2 -i 0 -v 0 you load the driver for the second time. Do not load the pwc driver and...

I see that some people have problems installing webcamd. I like to help so I have written here how I have done it.
Get the latest port tarballs for v4l_compat, libv4l, pwcview and webcamd.
Also get the cuse4bsd source.
Just follow the instructions to do that...
