Simone,
I just answered this question also on the PC-BSD forums.
Currently unicap only works with Linux. Unless you know how to program and make the required changes to the code ( and send me the patch afterwards :-) ) I would recommend to use Linux if you want to use unicap and VeeJay.

I've downloaded the source code to compile it, when i do ./configure, everthing seems it's ok. But when i do make i've got this error:

colorspace.c:28:25: linux/types.h: No such file or directory.

This has nothing to do with POSIX. The IEEE-1394 driver has a different API than the Linux one.
If you want to use IIDC cameras, you might be able to use libdc1394 which is supposed to have MacOS support. I never tested this though.

What a pity... since it aims to be a POSIX system... :-)
anyway thanx for the quick response
Till
Do you have a suggestion on what to use instead? (apart from quicktime...)

I am sorry but there is currently no way to get unicap running on OSX. libraw1394 is not available for OSX.

Hey,
is there a way to get unicap running on osx?
missing: lib1394.h
where to get it?
regards

The Fire-I camera should work. Note however this camera has some abnormalities: The 'shutter' property controls a feature called 'backlight compensation'. The 'auto exposure' property controls the shutter time instead.

Arne,
Your helpful comments are very appreciated.
You wouldn't happen to know if the Fire-i camera by unibrain will work with unicap? It claims IIDC 1.04 compatibility, so one would hope it will work.

The latency differs a lot between the different protocols. Lets define the latency as the time from the end of the exposure to the first time the image data is accessible to the application.
For DCAM / IIDC it is rather easy:
After exposure, it takes the frame rate to transmit the whole frame to the host. The FireWire card will generate an interrupt immediately after the last byte of the...
