Hi,

I've been trying to use ayttm for two way webcam between my machine 
running linux and my friends's machine running Windows. We have 
ayttm-0.4.6 on Linux (Fedora Core) and ayttm-win32-0.4.6 n Windows 2000.

My webcam works fine and my friend can see it. However, when she tries to 
send her webcam session she gets the error:

"could not read images from your webcam, could not find a video grabber"

Now the lists have an answer to this but only for the linux version. Under 
windows there is no /dev/video, no webcam/xawtv. There alse does not seem 
to be a Video Capture dialog in Edit|Preferences|Utilities. I gather from 
the lists that sending webcam from Windows should be possible. Can anyone 
suggets how to tie the webcam into ayttm under Windows?

Thanks

Greg

PS - We tried the Yahoo Messenger in Windows as well, but that didn't work 
- blank or grey windows even with jasper installed. Unfortunately I don't 
have a windows machine to hand to test on. My friends cam works between 
two Yahoo sessions though.
