Hi all, I've an Acer Aspire 5930G notebook, with this webcam: Acer HD Crystal Eye webcam (064e:a117 Suyin Corp.) I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit) and I've this problem.
While my webcam is well recognized by the system (I've the /dev/video0 device, I can see my self in Cheese preview, I can see myself in Skype option panel ecc....), I've problems when I start recording something, for example: - when I click on "Record" button of Cheese - when I start a video call on Skype - when I try to stream something with Flash plugin on web all three situations have the same problem: the framerate is very low... something like 1-2 frame every 5 or 6 seconds. In Skype people tell me "I see you moving very very slow... I see the image changing every 5 or 6 seconds..." This happens in all three situations I talked about before... This is the complete lsusb -v output: http://pastebin.com/m7e9e94d7 and this is the kern.log output when I try to record on Cheese: http://pastebin.com/m79c906ae Any idea how to fix this? p.s: I've tried this tips I've found in Cheese documentation: 5.1. The video is sluggish/has a slow response. What can I do? You may have set "ximagesink" (X Window System (No Xv)) as video-output. This means, that your cpu is doing all the work. Change it to "xvimagesink" (X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)) in order to let your graphics card do the work. To change the settings, run gstreamer-properties, click the Video tab and change the appropriate settings. but it doesn't work anyway.... -- Andrea Grandi email: a.grandi [AT] gmail [DOT] com website: http://www.andreagrandi.it PGP Key: http://www.andreagrandi.it/pgp_key.asc _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
