I have a feeling that gstreamer is to be blamed. The driver does seem to output the 640x480 resolution it should, I verified this using ffmpeg [1]. Also, the "Multimedia Systems Selector" application (normally hidden in ubuntu's menus, call using gstreamer-properties) shows only the 160x120 tiny video, though at least at a reasonable framerate.
[1] something like ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 24 -b 750000 -vcodec wmv2 -i /dev/video0 -f audio_device -i /dev/audio1 -isync -acodec wmav2 -f avi out.wmv -- Cheese shows very small video size https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
