Bug Description

Binary package hint: cheese

I've got a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000, which should be able to do 25fps@1600x1200, but I'm only seeing maybe 5fps with cheese. I don't have another app to test with, but I've confirmed this on another machine as well, so it's not due to faulty hardware.

Same problem with the same camera. Also slow framerate with Skype.

Timo, could you test this with another app (like Hefelumpman)? If you could reproduce this with another app, then this is most likely a driver problem. If not then this is a duplicate of bug 197659 .

ekiga is just as slow, and so is gstreamer-properties. Should this be filed against the kernel then?

Yes, and in a similar fashion to Bug #287336.

On my Dell Latitude D620 with Ubuntu 8.10 (all patches applied) the webcam "NORTEK WEBCAM 300" shows video only with cheese (not working in camorama, skype, ekiga). Image quality is excellent, but the video framerate is about 1 per second!

Having a similar issue with low framerate on my Creative Live!Cam Optia AF on 1600x1200, its supposed to be capable of video on this resolution at 30fps yet it feels like 1 fps. I need to lower the resolution to 800x600 to get a sub standard but usable frame rate.

Done. Take a look at bug #361256

Hello:
I solved with guvcview (included in repository synaptic), dismark "Exposure,Auto Priority" option.

Moving back to cheese. There should be a way to set these things from cheese and not need guvcview for that.

Timo Aaltonen: Is there any reason this bug is marked incomplete? Doesnt this need to be sent upstream?
