Hello,

Thanks for reporting the bug.
Unfortunately, I do not really know what's going on here... I tried to
reproduce the problem on all the machines I can test, but I always get
buf.bytesused == s->frame_size == 691200. The value you get, 884736, is
not even a multiple of 480...

Which drivers are you using? Maybe you are seeing a v4l bug? Can you try
a different version of the driver?

Maybe I am missing something... Can you check what's the value of
fmt.fmt.pix.bytesperline after ioctl(fd, VIDIOC_S_FMT, &fmt) has been
called in device_init()?
Does anyone else have any idea about this?

Anyway, the program should not crash even if v4l is returning strange
values; I'll fix the bug as soon as I have some time.


			Thanks,
				Luca
