I can confirm this issue... When i try to record a video with cheese and a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema, cheese crashes immediately without a traceout on the shell...
$ LANG=C cheese ^C After i kill the process and restart Cheese I get these messages $ LANG=C cheese ** (process:5041): WARNING **: Couldn't change nice value of process. ** Message: Error: Stream contains no data. gsttypefindelement.c(863): gst_type_find_element_activate (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstTypeFindElement:typefind: Can't typefind empty stream totem-video-thumbnailer couldn't open file 'file:///home/user/Videos/Webcam/2009-11-10-214440.ogv' Reason: Stream contains no data.. ** (cheese:5038): WARNING **: could not generate thumbnail for /home/user/Videos/Webcam/2009-11-10-214440.ogv (video/ogg) I think they are caused by the bad video file.
