You should get the latest CVS sources from linuxtv.org. Those work
with 2.4.5. The latest drivers (>=0.9) have a different API, you can`t
get the stream from /dev/video anymore. The latest CVS sources also
include some examples on how to use the new API and there is a
description on linuxtv.org as well as in the doc directory of the
driver. 2.2.x er kernels are no longer supported. You should use "make
insmod" to load all the modules and before that makedev.napi to create
the devices for the new API (in /dev/ost/).
