Hi Eugen, I had the same problem. I solved it downloading the sources of OPAL, PTLIB and ffmpeg. I followed this way and works.
Check this links: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compiling_Ekiga#H.264.2C_MPEG4_Part_2_and_H.263.2B_.2F_H.263-1998_using_debian_prebuild_binaries_.28maybe_working_for_UBUNTU.2C_too.29 (you can see what dependences are necessaries) For ffmpeg: ./configure --enable-shared make sudo make install For ptlib: ./configure make sudo make install For OPAL ./configure make sudo make install and for ekiga ./configure make sudo make install I have a philips web-cam on Ubuntu 10.04 with Ekiga and works fine. I'm using this versions: Ekiga 3.2.7 OPAL 3.6.8 PTLIB 2.6.7 And in Ekiga Edit->Preferences->Video->Codecs I can see h263 option. I hope help you. Regards Pablo.
