    Whenever I try to run effectv (on Fedora Core 2 - kernel 2.6.6), I only get this error-message:

    video_init: Can't find a supported pixel format.
    Video initialization failed.

    The webcamera works works with xawtw ( it's an w9968cf (Creative WebCam Go Plus) ), so I can't see why it shouldn't work with effectv? Any ideas?

      I have roughly read the source code of w9968 driver
      and found it supports YUV422 format which EffecTV supports. Hmm, what's wrong?

      EffecTV has an undocumented option "-debug".
      Could you run EffecTV with "-debug" option and post
      the output to this forum?

      Try to adjust the image size. You can see it just running xawtv. Then type effectv -geometry WxH
      Here W and H are Width and Height in pixels.
