Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cheese
Right now, I can't use my webcam on Skype because the picture quality is
extremely bad. Buying a new webcam makes no sense because the same
webcam does have better quality if and only if I select to choose lower
framerate.
When ever I chat on skype with video, the picture is extremely black.
The issue became really annoying because I couldn't talk to people using
my notebook's builtin webcam. In Windows 7, there is a custom
application from the manufacture which allows to brighten up the picture
internally [not simple bright which whitens the picture] by selecting
'Night Mode' What this mode simply did which I found recently is that it
simply changes the amound of framerates broadcasted by the webcam to
computer. Default it's 30FPS which is smooth but in normal condition,
black or dark video but 10FPS brightens up the picture
Till now, I have only found guvideo which allowed to select different
rate but the problem is that it only allows those frame with the
application, not any other. Unlike cheese, which sets allows setting to
be used in different application like skype with frames,effects and all
that goody. What I'm asking is to implement a feature which allows
different frame rates setting to be used for webcam. If its not possible
or anything, can you please tell me how can I do change my framerates
from the start so that what skype sees is 10FPS which is a bright
picture instead of the usual 30FPS dark video. Like can I do it by
changing some config file or something else? I need it it, thank you.
Ubuntu 10.4.1 Lucid
