[Bug 385344] Re: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions
Using 12.10 and 13.04, I tried what Scott O'Nanski just mentioned. Using guvcview (or any other webcam software) other than cheese works perfectly on several types of webcams. Juts tested an HP 1080p camera and a Genius one. Both work perfect. But if I use cheese with them, everything looks lagged. Feels like 5fps instead of 30fps. This only happens with cheese. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385344 Title: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cheese/+bug/385344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 385344] Re: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions
Here's my solution posted on bug #981803; 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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385344 Title: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cheese/+bug/385344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I appear to suffer from the bug, with one added item (if anyone else has noticed this as well) If you get Cheese to record audio and video; the audio (and video) chops off several seconds before you actually stopped telling it to record.

I am having the same issue, on a 4x AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 (5867MB RAM) desktop with a ATI Radeon HD 4550. I think the issue may have sprung up somewhere between the karmic - maverick, since I'd recorded some pretty sweet vids back on karmic (sorry, only realized the problem now, when I had some new vids to record). hawthornso23's comment is interesting because I am using a PS3 eye camera, a USB device with an in-built mic, but also have a separate mic that I generally use. However I use ALSA, not Pulse (does bad things to my setup) -- does anyone have any tips on how to disable the PS3 mic?

I can verify that guvcview works, while cheese doesn't. Still, cheese has an easier user interface and has the effects.

[Bug 385344] Re: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions
In my case these symptoms were caused by a sound issue. Specifically I was using a USB webcam with built in microphone. When recording, cheese was fighting the sound system for access to the device. That is why preview was no problem (no sound involved), but the instant I tried to record the framerate dropped to something like one frame every two seconds. The workaround was simply to tell the sound system not to use the microphone built into the USB webcam but to use an external mike. That fixed the problem completely for me. I reported all this in one of the many other bugs that got marked duplicates of this one. That comment seems to have been ignored. I am not sure that all those duplicates really deserve to be duplicates as others seem to be reporting the problem on laptops and in situations with very different hardware setups to mine. However my experience makes me suspect that while the details probably differ, this is most likely a sound issue in all cases. That would explain why preview is just fine but recording is unusable, since only when recording is sound used. If you have this problem try playing with your sound recording settings in pulseaudio. For example try plugging in an external microphone and telling pulseaudio to use that as default audio source. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385344 Title: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 385344] Re: Netbooks- Cheese video recording is laggy at higher video resolutions
I saw your comment and it seems correct to me. However, I couldnt find a way to do so easily. I don't know how to make pulseaudio change my sound card. - startup - sound video - pulseaudio device chooser does not produce anything - startup - system - preferences - pulseaudio preferences does not give me the list of hardware, only network informations. - gnome-volume-control applet does not allow me to change the hardware informations. So, I am quite lost about what I can/should do.
