[Asterisk-Dev] help needed implementing H324M (UMTS Video)

[Masakazu Nakano]

sorry off topic

I found a VW2010 H/W MPEG4 driver for RH73,RH9 linux inside this zip

http://www.provideo.com.tw/driver/PV-257/PV257SDK_V1.0.0328.zip

Did anyone tried it? and Can we drive with IAX on linux and windows?

Regards.
