The kernel don't have support the decompressor. This is the current problem. The driver is out of sync, and a lot of users can use their webcam in 640x480. If they are a pwc-uncompress.[ch] in the kernel, it's for copying data from the iso-buffer to image buffer. For compatibility with v4l1, a black border is present for size not supported by the hardware. Anything else is already remove since one year. > - use V4L2_PIX_FMT_PWCX formats This is possible to add, and in my TODO list. I've plan to do this month, but currently i'm trying to add support in various applications to be able to uncompress the image. Now we have a library, a better one is on my laptop and need to be release. The lastest snapshot fixed all bugs known (and an important one). > - update the driver with http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ update If i sync the driver to the kernel. User will need to use my driver because no application have support the compressed format. If you think you can change motion, gnomemeeting, camorama, mplayer, ffmpeg, xawtv, ... do it ! But the decompression can be done or not done in the kernel. Because without the decompression you don't have any format useable.
