Hello, I'm currently on 2.6.30 and the problem is still here. However I've tried on a brand new (Sony Vaio) laptop and the webcam is working fine (kernel 2.6.26 with the Debian live Lenny). So it seems that you were right and that it has something to do with my computer... :-( Strangely I was exp

Hello, Sorry for the misunderstanding (maybe my english could be better): I've tried on another port and another computer and I had exactly the same problem. I will try on a third computer this evening, but if the problem is still the same, surely the problem couldn't be on the USB controller (oth

Hi, Based on the link you provided ( http://forums.quickcamteam.net/showthread.php?tid=860), There are obviously a lot of frame drops (USB isochronous frame lost (-71).) "-71" means -EPROTO, which will be dropped by the driver: : for (i = 0; i < urb->number_of_packets; ++i) { if (

Hello, Do you have the Quickcam Pro 9000 or the Vision Pro ? I didn't have any difficulty turning off the auto-exposure with both of them. Have you tried with normal user and root ? Anyway my problem was not so with the framerate (which may be dependant of the exposure) but on dropped frames (whic

Hi Maybe there are some possible reasons.. 1) dropping by the device because the host is too slow to drain the data, -> use a different host to test 2) dropping by the host uvc driver, -> turn on the trace to maximum to check if there is a drop 3) dropping by the application above uvc driver, -> pr

The YUYV fps difference to MJPG, IMHO, can only be caused by the frame size. MJPG is compressed so it can be some 10 times smaller compared to YUYV. This also indicates that CPU is not a problem since MJPG requires a lot more CPU (needs decompressing) So if memory is also not a problem, the only th
