Hello. This is not an answer to your question, but, rather, a question of your question. I have a Logitech webcam thing that shows as having 720p (1280x720?) capability, but, with the computer or the broadband limitations, or both, I find that I have to use it at a lesser resolution (640x480, I think, or, less), to get some sort of fluidity and realtime movement, otherwise, I get lagging and a series of still frames and jerkiness, rather than fluid motion. >From what I understand, (and, I am quite probably wrong), the higher resolutions are not good, for applications like Ekiga and Skype. I have just used cheese to record a video, with my Logitech webcam, and vlc showed the resolution to be 1280x960, and the motion was jerky and not fluid. I do not know what hardware, you have, or, what your data transmission rates are like, but this computer that I am using, has an i3 CPU, and, I think, an nVIDIA graphics thing with about 512MB of RAM (on the graphics thing - the computer has, I think, 16GB of RAM), and I have found that webcam resolution of more than 640x480, is too much for getting useful video. So, I am wondering whether it is worth you trying to get the high resolution of your webcam capability (1920x1080), for video, if the video processing, would not give you fluid motion for that resolution. You may have hardware, and, data transmission rates, that can accommodate the high resolution capability of your webcam, and give you a sufficient fps, to attain adequate fluidity of motion - I do not know. At this stage, I have not yet, been able to effect a successful video call with Ekiga - I have only been able to effect successful video calls, with skype. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
