[ivtv-users] stream webcam to TV out on PVR350

[Graeme Wilford]

Hi,

I believe that some of you are doing this or something very similar...

I'd like to stream the output of a USB webcam (using the V4L1 gspca driver)
to the TV out on the 350.

I've got this to work using ivtvfb + the ivtv X driver @ 640x480 and then
using spcaview to take the 640x480 mjpeg stream from /dev/video1 and display
it on the X server. Works fine but even at 5fps, spcaview uses a lot of CPU
on my PIII.

What is the most CPU-efficient way to take an mjpeg stream and throw it out
of the PVR350? Video quality is not particularly important. I was hoping to
avoid the framebuffer and X entirely by going direct to the RAW YUV out on
/dev/video48 but not sure how to do this...

Advice appreciated.

Regards,
Wilf.
