Hello again !

is it possible to run two webcams at the same time ?
one is par port webcam II
the second is a webcam II usb !

the first uses /dev/video0 !

but - when i try to use the second cam i get the following
messsage: no such device or device is busy !
i use /dev/video1 ! 

i have tried to use both cams with camstream and vidcat.
my aim is to strem with one cam live into my webbrowser and the second
only snap one pic. or that booth cams stream into the a webbrowser.
i need this two cams for a project to view something over the web from two
positions !! is it possible !?!
