Bug Description
Cheese running in non-debug mode shows terrible video quality:
- it's in black and white
- lots of noise in the image
- lots of red artifacts which are overlayed over the main image, but offset and heavily interlaced.
When apport runs cheese in debug mode, the picture quality is perfect as it is with mplayer:
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2 tv://
