Hi Philipp,

Thanks for responding, what version of the webcam do you have? I seem to
have a got a 0.08

My ports are usb 2.0 I did not test it with an other pc I only have
eeepc's around me.

Is there a debian package for the latest uvcvideo kernel module?

Could you test this command for me and show me the output: (especially fps)

mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:fps=5 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2240:threads=2 -of rawvideo -o webcam4.mp4

Thanks in advance,
