In all the above 3 tests I used the same type of Philips USB camera.
I suspect it could be a pwc driver issue, but I could not verify it.
The issue could relate to version 10.0.15 of pwc driver or only to the amd64
build.
Please check the issue and apply correction!
Please contact me if you need more information.
Regards,
Laszlo BORTEL
