Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 561200

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Also , Do you get the same problem of inverted video when you test with the following command:
~$ gstreamer-properties

[Vish (vish)]

Looks like you are using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic , so ignore comment#2.

Kindly attach the output of command :
 $ cheese -vv 2>&1 | tee cheesedebug.log

Once you run the command cheese will start and try to reproduce the problem.
