Hi, I just tried (stable/8 as of end of 09-2010) skype 2.0.0.72 with webcamd, and the video driver seems to get incorrect data, see http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/doc/skype_webcamd.gif there are changing pixels in the first 8-10 rows (160 pixels each in the preview) which seem to be related to changes in the image. The remaining area is still though not always the same in different runs of the program. The camera with pwcview works at 320x240 and 640x480, but not at 352x288 (for the records, the same camera under 7.x and linux-gspca-kmod did work also at other resolutions, but linux-gspca-kmod is based on a different version of gspca so the problem might be there). Any idea on how to track the issue ? cheers luigi On Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 11:42:09AM +0200, Alexander Leidinger wrote: > Quoting Jashank Jeremy <jashank.jeremy@optusnet.com.au> (from Mon, 4 > Oct 2010 22:05:35 +1100): > > >On Mon, Oct 04, 2010 at 12:29:27PM +0200, Alexander Leidinger wrote: > >>Please specify your FreeBSD version.
