Mplayer had a bug which prevented it from working with the Linux UVC driver. The fix has been committed to their SVN repository, but I'm not sure if it has been shipped by Debian yet. Last time I checked, VLC had no proper V4L2 support. As the Linux UVC driver doesn't support the deprecated V4L1 interface, this explains why VLC doesn't work. Try bugging the developers to implement V4L2 :-) > Below are four outputs. If I should supply some other information, > please tell me.
