The 'vic' application available at this URL:

http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multimedia/software/vic/

(original version can be found at "http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/vic/")

supports the SunVideo cards. I don't know for certain whether it supports
both the Sbus Osprey-1100 clone (aka SunVideo) and the PCI Osprey-1500 clone
(aka SunVideo+), or just the Sbus one, but 'vic' is something which stands
alone as being perhaps the most highly-developed application beside Sun's
own ShowMeTV v1.3 (and SunForum which also supports the SunVideo cards)
application.

There's little else available, although I do have some c++ source for a
streaming video engine for the SunVideo Sbus cards which doesn't work
properly and I've never had the time or inclination to make it work. It was
written by a guy called Matt Evans.

A friend of mine put me onto a site at Sourceforge where there are Brooktree
bt848, etc. drivers which work with Solaris. The URL for this is:

http://bt848x.sourceforge.net/

Check that out too.

Regards,

Craig.
