Webcam Image Distortion

[Robb]

Since the install of 11.10, my ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX webcam does not provide a proper image. The image is mostly black and white with graphic distortions. Programs such as MPlayer and VLC utilize the webcam without a problem, but programs such as Cheese that use gstreamer produce the distorted image.

I am having this problem as well with 046d:08d8 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam for Notebook Deluxe. The image is black and white colored horizontal lines on occasion and some other distortion. It only occurs when using gstreamer (Cheese) and with Skype. VLC works just fine.
