ok. thanks.
i've tryied it and now it works.

i have no time to study all the video4linux api's docs, so i've searched for sample programs to learn from them.
there are a few very simple to save datas to *.pnm(so it has to be converted for bmax) and other ones which display the image on the video.
to display frames to the screen they use SDL libraries, and so there are a few other problems.
now that is resolved, it will be possible to do a program which will init-stop the cam and put it on the screen(with an update function).
probably i'll change it, however it could be fast.

maybe the next week i *could*(i have to see what i need to do) release a TEST version of the module, with just a few functions, but i don't know.
