|
|
Hi,
I bought a Hercules Classix Silver webcam (gspca_sonixj driver from kernel). It's supposed to have 30 fps. Well, many cams obviously have a lower framerate on linux, so does mine.
But then I was playing around with mplayer and I saw this:
Code: | v4l2: 1036 frames successfully processed, 3275 frames dropped. |
Is there any way to also get these dropped frames? A smooth video would be great. |

it looks like the processing can't keep up with all the frames...
The only real solution is to make the code more efficient to move the data quicker. _________________ iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA

Ok, thanks for the information. So I guess I'll be buying a more linux compliant Webcam soon. |
