[Linux-uvc-devel] Microsoft Lifecam Cinema

Hello, I am testing Microsoft Lifecam Cinema now, but I am not able to record audio and video syncronusely with that cam and guvcview. The Logitech C525 works but has a crappy image. Also cheese works with both cams but has a little frame rate. Skype works for both. Do you have any ideas? I have

Hi, guvcview detects some sync issues, it seems although you select 30 fps, for that resolution (1280x720) your hardware is just not powerful enough to decode the MJPG stream and re-encode it with whatever coded you are using. Some solutions: -reduce the fps -reduce the resolution -try using a

Hi, if you are using any of the mpeg4 codecs, you will need a rather powerful cpu for encoding at high frame rates, specially at any decent resolution. As an example I don't have any special problems with the following configuration: device input: MJPEG 800x600@25 fps video codec - mpeg 4 - avc

Hi Paulo, I am using a quite powerful PC i5 2.8 8 Gig RAM, ... and even with lowest settings, 640 x 480 the result is the same. The audio always comes out first. If I choose a different audio source like my other Logitech C525 or Lifecam VX-2000 the recording of the Lifecam Cinema is fine and

Hi, Well if the audio comes first it means you are dropping audio frames making audio capture shorter than video, this usually means issues with the audio source, you seem to have confirmed this by changing to another mic and verifying that the recorded video works fine in that case. There could

FYI, I did as you said - bandwidth = 2048 seems to do the trick. Is this going to have a suitable 'workaround'/hack built into the driver at some point, or something I will need to manually define for the near future? Thanks, -Seth On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 8:18 AM, Laurent Pinchart

Hi Laurent, I hate to be a pest but am curious as to whether or not you think this issue will be solvable. I am trying to determine if I will be keeping these two cameras or returning them, as they are only useful to me if they will both work (simultaneously) within the uvcvideo project. Thanks

Just out of curiosity, am I correct in understanding that the driver (per what the camera is telling it) is allocating too much bandwidth on the USB bus or is this proper behavior? I am trying to determine if I will be able to have two of these cameras operating simultaneously on the same

Greetings, I have two Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Cameras attached to a single system (only one USB 2.0 controller). I have set trace=1024 on uvcvideo and find that the driver allocates the same amount of bandwidth regardless of what I specify for resolution, fps, or codec in ffmpeg, vlc, etc.
