Philips SPC 600 NCP

Philips SPC 600 NCP

[Curtis Schroeder]

I recently picked up a Philips SPC 600 NC web cam on clearance, because I had read in the Ekiga documentation that most Philips web cams were compatible.  Evidently the SPC 600 NC currently is not compatible with Linux.  I've
downloaded and installed gspca-4d0827823ebc in my 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 installation, but
it reports in dmesg that it does not recognize the sensor.  Is there a
utility I can run and report the results back to this list that would
help get this situation corrected?

Curt

Philips saa6752hs mpeg encoder recommendation

[Brian Thompson]

Hello all,

I'd like to do some mpeg encoder testing on linux with the Philips
saa6752hs mpeg encoder but I'm having a difficult time finding
PCI cards that use the chip.

If anyone has any recommendations on cards that make use of
the Philips saa6752hs chip and associated linux driver, I'd really
appreciate the info. Especially cards that are still available new
or readily available used.

Thanks,
Brian

Our TV tuners has hardware MPEG encoder saa6752hs:
BeholdTV M6
BeholdTV M63
BeholdTV M6 Extra

We made support this cards in Linux with Hans Verkuil (big thanks). 
See saa7134-empress.c and saa6752hs.c source code (in media/video/saa7134 folder).

And bad news. You can't buy our card outside of Russia.

With my best regards, Dmitry.

I was just about to point to you.

Hmm, assuming you have still some amount of chips, why you don't try to
sell global like all others do after all the work you had to get the
mess sorted?

Given that nvidia and others have GPU hardware acceleration for HDTV
more or less ready, even with GNU/Linux on current cheap supermarket
PCs, what to wait for?

The remaining market is _now_ and not in any future.

Best as well, get them out.

Cheers,
Hermann

Hello Curt,

I don't know which driver you used. If it is the sn9c102, please,
regenerate, removing this driver from the config.

Also, as this webcam has not be tested yet, I'd be glad to know if it
works. If it does not, may you send me the last kernel messages after
pluging the webcam (do a grep on 'gspca' and 'sonixj'), and the
image.dat generated by my program svv (if any - do 'svv -rg').

Regards.

OK, after adding the following symbolic link in /usr/lib I was able to compile svv.c:
ln -s libv4lconvert.so.0 libv4lconvert.so

Please provide me with more information on how I should disable the sn9c102 driver.

Thank you for your help,
