Dear Microdia people, I wonder if you could help me get mine working? (0c45:612a Microdia, Ubuntu 8.04)

I tried doing the next stage of the instructions anyway, and this is what I got: alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/ v4l2convert.so mplayer tv:// \ > -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/video0 -vo x11 ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages: * mplayer-nogui * mplayer Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> bash: mplayer: command not found alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ I'd be very grateful for any help, or even just an assurance that I should give up and get a different webcam! Thanks for all your efforts to get these microdia cameras working.
