This is off-topic, but I thought some of you might know this.

I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 camera that came with very poor software
for acquring images and video. What I'd like is some open-source
solution that will allow me to customize the interface to make
capturing very easy.

I found the CMU 1394 driver [ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~iwan/1394/ ] and
found that it works perfectly with my camera. However, what I now need
to do is have a way of displaying and capturing the video. I'd rather
not write my own software, since I've never done video and am not sure
of how to properly buffer, display, and capture the video.

Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!
