Alright so i just bought the zoneminder pico2000 capture card and got zonminder all setup.

Problem is the sources are staying red and i can't get any video. I however can see the picture in xawtv.

UPDATE FOUND THIS IN THE VAR LOGS
May 20 18:11:58 tempe-Dimension-4700 zmc_dvideo0[2728]: FAT [Failed to open video devic e /dev/video0: Permission denied]

Permissions issue i am thinking, just no sure how to fix it...

Here's the output of the following command while i have 2 cameras connected. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Try V4L2

I read about that, but wasn't sure how to try it out. I will of course look myself, but are there any walk throughs out there off the top of your head? Also is it necessary since i am able to see the video when not using ZM?

well i figured it out-- cameras had to be set to bgr and it started working fine.
