The thread at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-October/011327.html indicates the problem and shows symptoms. The most recent version of webcamd (0.1.18) now supports more of my webcams but still with similar problems. If (as it seems) the problem is related to the output format generated by the camera, i wonder if it is possible to tweak webcamd to generate a specific video format on startup, irrespective of the native camera format ? I am under the impression (perhaps wrong) that webcamd (or libv4l1) implements some conversion of the native formats ? cheers luigi
