OS - Ubuntu 9.04
I have a Logitech QuickCam S7500. Or What camcorder to buy? What software do I need to upload to places like 'ustream', chat rooms, etc. The camera is recognized by 'Cheese', Pitivi, XrawTV, camorama. I get images of me on the screen.
video playback is like I have applied a blueish sepia filter over it. And this is just the playback from totem player or mplayer, and not the playback from ..... (and generally online streaming) - this works just fine. this messy video playback also appears when I use cheese to capture video with my webcam. Note that the preview picture of the video file on nautilus has the natural colours it should have.
at first when I installed the os this particular problem didn't exist, but it came up the time I decided to follow the "comprehensive multimedia guide". So now I have all the pros of following the guide, but this is a major con...
Did the protocol change? I have to restart Pidgin whenever this happens before I can rejoin the room.

I can't upload video file in wps presentation , how to fix?

I have been looking through some other threads and none of their solutions work. All of my librarys are up to date as far as i know.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to practice some video casting - just using the webcam for now - I tried Cheese but got real choppy, slow video - is there another program that would work better on F12 ?
Also any ideas on how to "cut in" some screenshots ? I expect to use kino or kdenlive for any editing.
I wonder if anyone here has succeeded in streaming the video of a local webcam to the internet? Some research has turned up webcam_server Project Home Page but unfortunately it only supports v4l, not v4l2 and is no longer maintained. It seems to be possible with VLC server, but I'm a bit reluctant, because their repo is said to break other things. I still have 11.1 here.

Have Logitech 9000 web cam .. brand new out of the box.
It installed and works both in Cheese and in Skype. (outstanding image!)
But, there is a severe lag in the image (audio does NOT lag .. so makes using any on line VERY hard to do!) Is there some way to get this thing to work properly, or am I going to have to wait on 10.04 to see if that works? (hate to use the old saw of "it works in Windows", but it DOES on my Windows machine .. just that I want it to work on the Linux box as that is my primary box and used for almost all on line activities.)
Any suggest a good solid piece of software that will enable me to make video diaries with my webcam and mic? I have tried Cheese, but the sound quality isn't too good, which is odd, as it is fine with VoIP, and I can't seem to see anything else in synaptic. Nothing obvious, anyway. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. I don't want to stream it over a network or anything, just record video and sound, and save the file.

I use mencoder for recording from USB webcam .
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -fps 16.2 -o test16.2.avi
The problem is that the audio is not synchronized with the video.
I am running OpenSuse 11.2 64 - I have vmware Player and Vbox loaded and working fine - I have XP running in each VM - I have a Creative Live cam and was accessing it in each of the VM's, because I can't access it in Suse. This worked very well until recently. I received updates for Suse, one of which was a kernel update - I installed and rebooted. All of a sudden my time to boot took for ever - however - once up and running every thing seemed fine. After a few boots the system started booting normally and the video from my live cam in both VM's is garbled and and essentially not working right.
Video seems to work correctly in all other areas - I removed the creative software and reinstalled in each of my VM's No change. One last thing - I recently (a week or so before my problems) installed an Nvidia video card. I previously used on board video (also Nvidia) I had no problems either in the VM's or Suse until the kernel update. I have removed Vbox and reloaded and set it up (/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup) problem still there.
My OS is:Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64
New Video is: G96[GeForce 9500 GT] Driver - nvidia
Have searched and not found much to show/tell me how to go about sending video to a web. The code for the page and the way to tell the camera to send or ftp or ...?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem using cheese to record video from my webcam. The image is extremely slow to update. Especially when there is lots of movement it sometimes freezes for about a second.
When I use the webcam in Skype it works fine. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this and better yet, how to fix it.
On Ubuntu 9.10 my Logitech C250 webcam just works. On Lucid the mic works but no video. In Cheese and Skype the webcam's LED is on but just a blank image. ls /dev/video* gives video0In Cheese and Skype the device is listed as UVC Camera (046d:0804) (/dev/video0)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Sager NP5797 running Lucid (32-bit) with a BisonCam NB Pro (V4L2) webcam on /dev/video0 In Flash (like [URL]), everything works great. My video appears to both myself and others, and I see incoming video. (I am using the 10.1 RC libflashplugin.so, downloaded from Adobe's site) But in applications like Cheese, Skype, etc., I get a big blank white box where video should be: Cheese (as well as every other app I try) sees the camera on /dev/video0:
In Skype, the person I am calling sees my video perfectly fine. So my camera is "working" and sending video. But I cannot see my video, nor can I see their incoming video. It's all a big white box just like the one in Cheese in the shot above. Taking the other person out of the equation, when I go to use the "test" in Skype, it's just a blank white box too. The video will not draw for me.
Again, I do see video in Flash-based web apps that use the webcam. And other people are seeing my video. But webcam video (both mine and the incoming stream) won't "draw" for me. What makes V4L video not draw? I am using the binary NVIDIA driver for the GTX 280M chip in the laptop, and I am using Compiz. Though I tried turning Compiz off and Cheese still just showed the white box.
I have a Sapphire PC USB webcam. It has a driver cd for Windows and it works fine there. But in Ubuntu 10.04 I get pink, hazy video when I use Cheese.I tried Camorama but in that software I get 'No Video' error.What should I do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnybody had any success in getting ffmpeg to work as advertised with video capture from a webcam? I really want to convert the webcam output to VP8 or H264, but apparently ffmpeg can't even capture the webcam with a video4linux device.
Code:
I have a very big image directory: One image per minute, whole a year, captured from a webcam. Now I want to make a video (15 or 24FPS) with all the webcam captures, to see how it changed during this period. I've tried automotion, but it makes a very low quality video, besides it blocks with lots of images. I've also tried dvd-slideshow, but it's not possible to make a more-than-1FPS video.
I also need to change the date in each webcam's images, because they are wrong, so it needed to overlay a little layout with the right date for each image, is that possible to manage within some application? Preferibly shell applications which supports lots of Gb of information (anyway I always could make little videos and then glue them)
Whats the best app/client for video calls in OpenSuse 11.2 or any other OpenSuse for that matter, other than Kopete or Skype?

I want to play the video in such a way that the viewers do NOT need any special software other than a standard web browser (Firefox, IE, etc.)
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a USB webcam connected to a server (dmesg output below). It is currently running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS server edition. So it has no X, and I don't want to install any. What I am looking for is a command line program to capture video from this webcam and store it. Also, something that can capture just pictures would be nice (but once I have a video file, I know how to get individual pictures from that). A nice plus would be setting this up as a video stream for other computers to stream the video from (to do what they can do with a stream, like view it in real time, capture individual pictures, save it). If setting up a stream makes the capture part easier, I could go for that. This camera works in the cheese GUI program on a desktop. Colors are bad in bright lights, but then, it's a cheap camera.
I prefer the output/stream in a free/libre video format (vp8/webm, ogg/theora, or dirac), but other formats that Linux software exists for (to record and play) can work if the free ones can't be done. Google finds lots of GUI ways to do this (mostly references to cheese). I did find one page that suggests "mencoder". But it doesn't find this webcam. I found a camera stream server called "camserv". It seems to find this camera, but then freezes. When I start camserv, the camera's blue light goes off, but no video is ever delivered from a web page reference. When I stop it, the camera is in an unusable state and has to be unplugged to reset it (so it can be used with "cheese"). So I'm looking for other software.

I am trying to develop an application that uses webcameras (in jaunty), so I found this code here, which gives examples: [URL]. I compiled it on my computer (which has a built in webcam on top that I know works, tested it and it worked in luvcview) and then tried to run it. I get an error message that says:
Cannot identify '/dev/video': 2, No such file or directory
I have located the part in the program where this comes from:
static void
open_device (void)
{ struct stat st;
if (-1 == stat (dev_name, &st)) {
/*dev_name is "/dev/video" btw, defined in main*/
fprintf (stderr, "Cannot identify '%s': %d, %s",

exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

I am using Eeepc 1000h with Slackware 13.1. I have found many threads talking about turning on/off the webcam on Eeepc, but only one gives a rather complicated way to take a picture(whose quality, according to the author of the thread, is quite unpredictable). There is a built-in 'digital camera' program of KDE to add cameras, in that way, perhaps one can control the camera to take a picture or a video, but I I don't know if the on-board webcam is among the list. One can use the camera when using Skype, but basically I want use the camera off-line. Is there any tool for Slackware to control the Eeepc webcam (as in Windows)?
View 14 Replies View Relatedhave setup a LAMP server with ubuntu 10.04 server edition x86 for my study in VMware Workstation 7.1 For a assignment I had to make a php script that would load a file up to the server and set the name in a mysql database. According to the book the server should set the image in a cryptic folder in the /tmp/ folder.
This isn't working and i also try'd locate and find to find the image i uploaded. I checked the php.ini and file uploads were on but no folder so i set that one to /tmp/ but still no images. Can anyone help me with enabling this function?
So my Microsoft Lifecam NX-3000 used to work with 9.04, but I can't seem to get anything from it now (Xubuntu 9.10). It still shows up fine when i enter lsusb, but it won't show up as a video device anywhere else. I have faith that this bug is a simple fix for someone who knows what they're doing, but unfortunately I don't. If it's relevant this is on my aging Toshiba Satellite.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to install Ubuntu 10 on my Thinkpad T400, but would like feedback from other T400 users that have Ubuntu running on their laptops. First, will it recognize all my hardware? I hear most Thinkpad users had issues with video and webcam drivers, but that was with an earlier version of Ubuntu 8 through 9. So my plan is to have Ubuntu 10 as my primary OS on the T400 and use Win7 within VMware.
