with xawtv. Question is where would I start to get that image to a file which can then be displayed by apache.

There is a program called webcam that (I believe) is included as part of xawtv. It grabs images from your video device and can either ftp them to a remote site or save them locally.

Type man webcam to learn more.

Another program I like is camstream. Unlike webcam, it gives you a preview window that shows what the camera is currently seeing. Like webcam, it can either ftp or save locally. Bryan S. Tyson bryantyson@earthlink.net

Update:

From a friend in Austin, TX USA about his webcam software. "http://cserv.sourceforge.net/" it was a bit of a dependence headache. However, after it is compiled it does work.

I also found a very good "Video for Linux resources" URL "http://www.exploits.org/v4l/" -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~dwash " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@arrl.net Info: http://www.austinlug.org
