Since we're on the subject of frame clocks, I tested a Quickcam Ultra 
Vision and used gettimeofday to stamp each frame as it arrived.

It seems that the frames are always sent with a 40ms granularity no 
matter what the frame rate is, except at 30Hz where each frame is 33ms 
apart.

For instance, if I request 10Hz, instead of having each frame 100ms 
apart, I get 80ms -> 120ms -> 80ms -> 120ms....

So, the only "constant period" modes are 25Hz and 30Hz.

I thought this might be related to powerline filtering, but I tested 
with every setting (starting with no filter at all) and still saw the 
same behavior.

Is this a limitation of the camera?
