I did a bit of googling and came up with these answers on askubuntu.com http://askubuntu.com/questions/3222/my-webcam-wont-work-how-do-i-debug http://askubuntu.com/questions/5397/webcam-not-recognized-in-dell-mini-10v-on-lucid-lynx-how-to-troubleshoot the general gist seems to be changing the video settings in gstreamer-properties and select "Video for Linux 2" in the video tab. hope this helps azmodie
