Public bug reported:
When recording a video with Cheese with a 1280x720 resolution, the image
is blurry whenever there is motion (this might be a webcam limitation)
but after a few seconds there are also massive framedrops. This results
in a jerky video at best, where the audio is at times completely out of
sync with the video.
When scaling back to 640x480 (the next 'best' thing), things are
smoother (at least there are no massive framedrops). But 640x480 is not
widescreen and not even close to HD, making Cheese useless for my aim of
being able to create quick-yet-good-enough-looking headshot videos for
online use.
