Hi All,

Trying to get a firewire cam to work as a webcam in skype... (the cam
works fine under Kino)

I tried the vloopback path to make skype use the cam. Though, it was
explained to me that vloopback will not work under the later kernels
(see other post in this forum title: vloopback). So I wonder if anyone
has managed to get a firewire cam working under skype using any other
way than vloopback.


opensuse 11.4 x86_64

Cheers
This could perhaps be a solution if and when it supports later kernels: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback
