I have a Microdia webcam which finally works without much ado. I have tried out xawtv and luvcview and am not impressed by the quality of the images. When running Skype the picture is sharp and quit good. What kind of video program Skype is using? are there better webcam products than luvcview and xawtv?
The first thing is to see what the camera is really sending. The best app I have found (i.e., it actually runs) is cheese. With that you can see that the camera can provide quality images. It comes with openSUSE 11.2. If the images look good in cheese, then the issue is the app. If the images look bad in cheese, then it is a camera/driver issue. At least this is my experience.
Thanks for the "cheese" idea. Images are better than I hoped for. As with Skype, the test image was not that bad but right now I know it should/could be better. -- Linux User 183145 using a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) 16:12pm up 1 day 2:38, 5 users, load average: 3.01, 2.74, 1.82 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
