Thanks for the report. > Downside is, it doesn't actually work with any 'production' software out > there. :/ > After some tinkering I figured out it's because it's a YUV cam, which it > doesn't seem anybody supports for whatever reason. The camera indeed supports YUV only, but that shouldn't prevent if from working with video software. > Once I'd figured that out, luvcview did work with the "-f yuv" option.

The latest luvcview version (available from the SVN repository at http://svn.quickcamteam.net/svn/luvcview/trunk/luvcview/) should be smarter and pick an appropriate format. > Would I be correct in thinking the fastest way to get more apps running > with this thing would be to fix Sane? Sane, as in "scanner access now easy" ? I'm not sure to understand how that would affect other applications, as most video applications use the V4L2 API directly. Could you elaborate on the production software that doesn't work with the camera ? At least Ekiga should work properly. > Anyway, I've attached the outputs from lsusb -v and v4l-info in case > anyone's interested on the details of this device. Thanks for the data. I collect USB devices descriptors so I'm actually interested.
