25 I've also tried using mplayer to do this:
26
27 linuxmac root # mplayer -tv on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/v4l/video0 -vo x11

30 MPlayer 0.90rc4-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS)

33 Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config
34 Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No
35 such file or directory

38 font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc
39 Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Invalid argument
40 Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup
41 scripts.
