Could you please check the kernel log for messages printed by the uvcvideo driver after you get that error message from QuteCom ? > * https://sip-communicator.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=487 SIP communicator probably doesn't support the YUYV format.

That's to be expected, camorama only supports the deprecated V4L1 API. > A friend of mine, who runs Kubuntu (8.10) intrepid, has got the same > problems with that camera. Ubuntu 8.10 uses the new libv4l2 library (included in the libv4l-0 package), and with brand new code comes brand new issues :-) Upgrading to libv4l2 0.5.6 should help, but no package seem to be available yet. > Today another friend of mine took that camera, sticked it into his Gentoo > machine and captured a video with "mplayer tv://" seamlessly.
