The purpose of this page is to communicate information about the various V4L2 related projects in progress around the world, and bring together the people working on the projects with those who are interested in the work, who are seeking drivers or applications, or who are working on related projects.
Back to main V4L2 page [ http:/millennium.diads.com/bdirks/v4l2.htm ].

| Michael Schimek | m.schimek@netway.at | Michael is working on the libv4l2 library. It is not available to the public yet. There will be a link here when it is ready. Michael has contributed many ideas to the V4L2 driver APIs. |
| Gerd Knorr | kraxel@goldbach.in-berlin.de | Gerd has ported the famous xawtv TV viewing application [ http:/www.in-berlin.de/User/kraxel/xawtv.html ] to V4L2. He has caught several important bugs in the sample driver. |
| Eric Fry | eric@atu.com.au | Eric is working on a non-linear editing (NLE) application called CROW. He has been working on it for quite a while, and it has a lot of capability already. He is seeking people to collaborate on further development. More information and screenshots at http://www.crow.atu.com.au/ |
| Mark Podlipec | podlipec@baynetworks.com | Mark wrote the XAnim video and animation file player [ http:/xanim.va.pubnix.com/home.html ] software. He is now working on a new player architecture, and considering how to integrate it with the V4L2 library and driver APIs. |
| Rene Mueller | kiwi@the-labs.com | Rene is interested in creating a file format for capturing and editing videos on Linux, and getting some basic record, play, and edit tools written. Later some more full-featured tools. http://the-labs.com/VideoLab/ |
| Chris Harshman | harshman1@aol.com | Chris is interested in writing a non-linear editing (NLE) application for Linux using V4L2, which he is calling Splice. He is seeking assistance. See http://paradigm.uor.edu/~harshman/linux/splice.html |
| Carlos Carnero | carnero@usa.net | Carlos is designing a professional video compositing application, codename: matterial. He is seeking help with this project. He intends to target the application initially towards the Matrox DigiSuite boardset. |
| Daniel Dunbar | ddunbar@diads.com | Not directly related to V4L2, but Daniel is working on a non-linear editing application called Moxy [ http:/millennium.diads.com/moxy/ ]. (He is also hosting this site for me. Thanks, Daniel.) |
If you are working on a V4L2 related project, or considering adding V4L2 support to your project, you should consider getting on the list. It can help you find others willing to contribute to your project, find people interested in your project who would like to test and use it, find people working on related projects who would like to coordinate their efforts with yours.
If you are seeking a V4L2 driver or application port that you do not see here, I can put your request on this page so the other developers can see it.
To get on the list send me ( bill.dirks@rendition.com ) an email with
what you would like to say and any links you would like to have here. If you would
like to make a change, or if I made a mistake, or if you want to be removed, just
email and I will take care of it as soon as possible.
