Hi,
The usbvc driver version included in 2008.05 did
not work with the built-in webcam in Eee PC 900.
With the help from Lei Chen in the USB team I
tested a new experimental debug version of usbvc and
this version worked fine with the EeePC webcam.
According to Lei Chen, this new usbvc is included
in nv96 so use this newest usbvc, (SUNWusbvc) if
you need the webcam to work. I have tried it with the
Ekiga video conference software that comes with the
2008.05 install and I managed to get video conferencing
beween the Eee PC and my U20 through wireless router
and my LAN to work fine using h323:<IP> calls.
Next step, is to try over the internet. Need to figure out what
port forwarding is needed in the router and if using STUN server
works. Anyone used Ekiga for external video conferencing?
The EeePC webcam supports only YUY format and not
the compressed MJPEG. I had some issues with my
yuyv conversion in my own capture software I have been
using for a logitech quickcam 9000 pro on my workstation,
apparantly there were some differences. There is also a bug
related to the YUYV format sometimes returning garbage bytes
at the end of a line, CR6739228
So far, I have captured up to 640x420 resolution successfully in YUYV.
Checking the capability of this EeePC webcam gives:
