Subject: [Ekiga-list] Logitech cameras
In case anyone is thinking of buying a Logitech
camera, this list should be consulted.
http://www.quickcamteam.net/devices/logitech_uvc_device_list.pdf
According to the date at the bottom, it is only
a few days old. I wonder how many thousands or
millions of hours Linux users have wasted puzzling
over unsupported cameras. =8-|

As I have previously said in a posting, I have a Logitech Communicate
STX, which appears to work without any (major) problems, on my laptop
running Ubuntu 8.04 and Ekiga.
The sound input (webcam microphone) seems to be incompatible with skype,
running on Ubuntu 8.04, but the webcam seems to work okay with Ubuntu
and Ekiga.
The only problem that I have so far found, is that Ekiga does not (in
the version that I previously cited) provide for recording video clips,
so the only way that I can record videoclips with the webcam, at
present, is to reboot into Windows (XP) and record a videoclip (to send
to family members who do not have or use video call software), which,
unfortunately, is limited to the .wmv file format.
But, the webcam tests okay with the version of Ekiga that I have
previously cited, running on Ubuntu 8.04.
But, as no-on has apparently acknowledged, or responded to, my previous
posting, perhaps no-one is interested in the information.
