Hello,
I am able to use my webcam with VLC, but not other programs such as Camorama. In the past, on another distro, I could use Video4linux to make adjustments.
But I cannot find it in Synaptic. Does PCLinuxOS use something different? I am a noobie, obviously.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi, use this mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -fps 30
Will it work? Video4linux is always installed

FYI ...... VLC also records and saves video and snapshots  View menu and tick Advanced controls ....
