Comment 205 for bug 290506

Can someone update the status on this?

gst-launch v4l2src ! xvimagesink
 and derivatives like it work.

Its cheese that hangs.

I have a gateway LT21 with Chicony (internal) Electronics webcam.

Noticed that 640x480 is maximum input, 320x240 is standard setting.(well in windows 7 anyway, which has been removed)

Maybe cheese sets this too high on startup??
I noticed if I load cheese, reset the input size, then reload uvc module as stated above I can capture video.

There is noticeable lagtime, however, on video capture. I get a black screen when I hit the capture button, but the video does indeed capture and cheese doesnt lock up when I stop the capture as it did before.

I have the uvcvideo module now loaded on startup. Thanks for the hints.
