   Ah you will need to disable the v4lbridge because it holds onto device.  If 
you have a quickcam you could use that instead.  That's how I've been doing 
the development.

   The encoding is hardcoded to NTSC right now but it doesn't matter because 
you don't need to actually use it.  You just need to see if it scales.
