Re: [LUG] quickcam woes

 

I had problems using XawTV to view/capture from my webcam too (a Philips thing).  I 
found MPlayer worked much better - sure it didn't have a nice pretty interface to 
it, and I had to fiddle around to get the settings, but at least it worked!

Here's what I had to use in mplayer, in case it helps:

$ mplayer -tv fps=30:noaudio:width=640:height=480:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video1 tv://

(video1 because I also have a TV card)
