I've ported nv and ivs and include support for the ScreenMachine II framegrabber, so one is able to send network multicast video with linux. I think vic should work in receiving mode. There are no sources, for vat,wb and sd, so we had to nerve the poeple to do a port. for vat: Van Jacobson (van@ee.lbl.gov) and Steven McCanne (mccanne@ee.lbl.gov) Bye Frank -- Frank Mueller http://www.hrz.uni-giessen.de/~l018/nig.html E-Mail: (nig@nig.rhoen.de) !
