I am setting up a small AG node with 3.1 on Ubuntu Hardy. I have a Unibrain Fire-i firewire camera. I can use vloopback and dc1394_vloopback to get a nice 320x240 or 640x480 stream with the H.264 video producer, but the older H.261 does not work, giving me odd patterns of mostly green diagonal lines.
I read somewhere that VIC expects RGB 16 bits per pixel. This may be my problem since the firewire setup offers only RGB 24 bit, YUV 422, YUV422p, and YUV420p. I could modify dc1394_vloopback to convert the video, but is there an easier way? thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
