I just checked, with changing the configuration of cheese, to get a 640x480 videoclip, and, while the voice/video sync, was not quite right, the motion was sufficiently fluid, and I could not get that, with the 1280x960 resolution. Also, in using the 1280x720 resolution, I found that the video and the voice/video sync, seemed to work okay. I do not know - maybe, your computer and your bandwidth, may be able to work well enough, with your 1920x1080 resolution, in video. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
