Looks right to me, and I hope that someone has more direct knowledge about your camera, which I do not. I do have a couple of questions, however, and a comment. Recently I'm trying to make work a Sunplus crappy mini HD USB camera, lsusb list this info related to the device: Picture Transfer Protocol (PIMA 15470) Bus 001 Device 015: ID 04fc:1528 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd idVendor 0x04fc Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd idProduct 0x1528 bcdDevice1.00 iManufacturer 1 Sunplus Co Ltd iProduct2 General Image Devic iSerial 0 ...

The comment: Perhaps a good thing to try would be the nice, simple, basic program svv, which you can get from the website of Jean-Francois Moine. Some of these other things do not always work. Especially I have had trouble with xawtv, though the xawtv people may have fixed a lot of problems while I was not watching them. yeap, I try it, same kind of mesages... The question: Is this a dual-mode camera which is also supposed to have still camera capabilities? If so, you might be interested in contacting the Gphoto project. I just searched for it there, and it does not seem to be listed. yeap a dual-mode camera... I assume that the specialists on the spca cameras will step forward. I am not one of them, as I said. Good luck. Theodore Kilgore Thanks! Mauricio -- Mauricio R.

Hi guys, Not sure if is the right place to ask since this device use a gspca driver and not sure if that driver is related to uvc or not, if not please point me to the right place...

I read some post about similar devices (but ID 12 or 14) that successfully works with gspca, so it seems that this one is close to work but may be need a fix on some timeout or something similar on the driver... Any clue of what can be done?..any suggestions or right place to ask?, do you need any other info to help to dig into the problem? Thanks a lot. Mauricio -- Mauricio R.
