[MPlayer-users] mplayer with webcam

[Chittaranjan Mandal]

I got a Creative Webcam (usb) PD1011.
Can I use mplayer to view its capture?

I tried xawtv, but got some errors.

$ xawtv -c /dev/video0
This is xawtv-3.76, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.19-16mdk)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available

$ ls -l /dev/video0
