Description Marcos González 2005-01-07 15:50:15 UTC

"Cupid is a modern, complete video/audio capture solution for the Linux/GNOME desktop. It is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, which is the de facto multimedia framework on the Linux and UNIX desktop. Using GStreamer, it supports a variety of container formats and video/audio codecs. Likewise, it supports all the current video and audio kernel interfaces, and can be extended to supports other systems than Linux simply by writing a GStreamer plugin."

I downloaded the source tar.gz and a ./configure && make && make install did the trick. The program runs without any problem, but seem to need v4l plugin for gstreamer, or it won't find my webcam. As gstreamer is included on Gentoo, I think could be a good idea reporting the release of this program.
