</div></div></blockquote><div><br>In theory you could probably get it to run on Windows since all of the components it's built upon (Python, Twisted, GStreamer) have Windows versions, but I doubt that it's tested and probably not that easy to get running. I'd recommend putting a Linux image on a USB stick and booting the machine with the camera connected to it off of that to give Flumotion a try. You'll want to use as large a USB stick as you can so that you can install Flumotion and related files. Here's some tips to getting it going with Fedora, others have posted some tips on using Ubuntu recently.<br>
