[Desktop-packages] [Bug 981803] Re: 720P video lagging, massive framedrops and out of sync
This is how I fixed my poor FPS in cheese, on Ubuntu 12.04; 1) sudo apt-get install guvcview; 2) Under image controls look for the drop-down menu item Exposure, Auto and select Manual Mode; TAB select the next option!!! 3) You should TAB select to the slider bar beneath Exposure, Auto labeled Exposure (Absolute) - use your right arrow key to bump up the selection. Mine was set to 156 so I knocked it up to 157 then down to 155, and back again to 156. Now my exposure it fine, and I get a solid 30fps at 1280x720. I'm not sure how or why this works, but it seems the exposure it set way too high or something. Anyway, just quit out of guvcview and launch cheese. Everything should be working now. Or at least it did for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cheese in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981803 Title: 720P video lagging, massive framedrops and out of sync Status in Cheese Camera Application: Expired Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: Fix Released Status in “cheese” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gst-plugins-bad0.10” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “cheese” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gst-plugins-bad0.10” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] This affects the entire distribution, on any laptop with a camera.
