V4L doesn't work on Wii

["Darwin O'Connor" <doconno@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to use my Wii to record video. I'm using MIKE p5
kernel based on 2.6
<http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/MINI:KernelPreviewFive> with the wiitoo
Gentoo distribution.

When I try and capture video with ffmpeg it fails because it can't
allocate enough memory. I added some debugging code to ffmpeg and I
found that the VIDIOC_QUERYBUF ioctl command is returning a size of
16777216 and a location of -1412567296 for the first video buffer. It
doesn't appear any errors are generated by V4L.

I also tried to capture with transcode, but it generated a similar memory error.

This happens for both the em28xx USB video capture device I have and
the V4L Virtual Video device.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what the cause could be. Perhaps
some kernel component is missing.
