I'm trying to record a USB 1080p 30fps USB webcam but I can't get much over 10fps at 1080p or 720p. The resolution change from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 does not seem to effect the fps at all.
I've tried 2 cameras, a generic winbook 1080p webcam and a very nice Logitech c930e. I am using MJPEG compression. Both work at 30fps in Ubuntu 14.04 with cheese and avconv (libav-tools). On the BBB I ran top and iotop and they indicated the CPU never got above 10% and the bandwidth writing to disk was <4,000KBps. I got the same low fps when running on the debian 7.5 (2015-03-01) and 7.9 (2015-11-12) releases. I couldn't get 8.2 (2015-11-12) to boot but I'll rewrite the SD card and try again if someone thinks it might help. The kicker is the Logitech c930e worked at 1080p@30fps on the RaspberryPi2, but the cheap generic camera would only run at 1080p@10fps on the RPi2. Should I be building the UVC drivers from the latest source or something like that? Is there a newer Kernel I should be using? Am I hitting some kind of USB bottleneck? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
