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

Code:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -fps 30

Will it work?

Video4linux is always installed  Wink
