Hi - I have a Philips PVC680 which uses the PWC module. I use 10.04 which I keep up to date. I cannot get the video stream from my camera with any of the usual apps. In gstreamer-properties I do not get the video window when trying to use the webcam input (I have tried all options in gstreamer-properties for the video output without success), I only get a video window when using the 'test' option (then I get colour bars). I do get the audio stream.

I have tried removing pwc before plugging in the webcam, but this does not help.

cheese gives this error immediately
** Message: Error: Stream contains no data.

vlc - statistics report 0bytes under every heading

I have found in syslog this error - pwc: Failed to allocate decompress table.

I am also happy to help in solving this issue.
