The first beta version of the driver is out. A lot of bugs have been fixed and the code should be stable enough to not to crash the system. I successfully tested it using xawtv, but this program doesn't center the image on the window by default, so you may want to configure it or resize the window to a supported resolution. I also added some module parameters (read the documentation about them; 'double_buffer' is still work in progress..) Concerning the quality of the image, i don 't know what cmos sensor the Creatixx webcam uses, therefore the hardware colour correction is not supported at the moment.
To do: support for JPEG compression capability to achieve really good quality 30 fps in CIF res.

Have fun,
Luca

This release fixes some bugs in the video-capture interface.

The code has been partially rewritten and the video-capture interface has been totally implemented. End-users may test the driver, but remember that it should support only original video output which can be in YCbCr4:2:2 8/16 bit packed format or YCbCr4:2:0 8/16 bit packed format. I don't know if it exists an application that expects those formats, so i'll work on a YUV to RGB24 conversion after having understood how the data is organized in a frame buffer. As i am alone in this project at the moment, it may take a long time...

Have fun.

This is a new open project for Winbond W9968CF and W9967CF chipset based USB cameras.
To my knowledge, devices mounting those chips are only two: Video Blaster Webcam Go and Video Blaster Webcam Go Plus.
The driver is still an alpha version, so please read the whole html documentation included in the package. Actually, IT IS NOT USEFUL FOR END-USERS !

Have fun
