I'm being affected by this bug. The Cheese program normally takes pictures, but when shooting videos in the web cam on my notebook, video lock, do not give no good shot of videos from the web cam. Thanks.

I cant record a video.

[Peter Wang (blinxwang)]

It seems to be a problem with Gstreamer compatability above version 1.1.4. The patch has already been applied to GNOME 3.10.1 and exists here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2013-September/msg06643.html
could this be applied?
