[slug-chat] Looking for basic v4l viewer


Morning all.

I'm looking for an application to grab video from a Video4Linux device, and
dump it on the screen, and do _nothing_else_.
Basically, I want to embed a stream from my webcam into a MagicPoint
presentation.  There can be no interaction with the UI, the app should just
start up and start showing video.  Everything I've tried either expects some
mouse clicks before showing anything (which MagicPoint intercepts), or in
the case of xawtv, just doesn't work with my cam.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Peter
