I need a good KDE webcam application.
Capture stills, video.

don't we all... :/
tvtime should be good for watching yourself and capturing stills... video capture is still annoying. Xawtv does it, but not well. you can use mplayer/mencoder at the command line, but you can't simultaneously watch yourself.
Good luck in your quest...

| Camorama is also available. What do you want to do with your webcam? |

Ideally use it with IM software under Linux.
AMSN is the only software I found and the image freezes and is too dark.
The cam works fine in other software.

if it gives a v4l or v4l2 interface (I forget which), it should be fine.. make sure your USE flags are correct.

Kopete should be called as follows: | Code: | | LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so kopete -caption "%c" %u |
And you should take care, that your video device is in /dev/v4l |

I also use the same to run Skype
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
The API has changed, and as long as theapps do not implemet the new api, you have to do it like that. Appart from that the In-Kernel drivers work very nice. |
