Re: installing a web cam

Hi Jagadeesh,

I tried the command you mentioned, but get an error message (shown below):

[video4linux2 @ 0x7fabdf7e3040]Missing/Wrong width, height or framerate
/dev/video0: Error while opening file

There are some lines preceding the error message as well: Here's the entire dump from the screen:

Am I missing something?

Hi Jyothi,

Sit in front of you laptop and run following command

ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0
jyothi.mpg

Then smile for couple of minutes and then hit 'q' [without '']

Thats it. Your smile is captured in jyothi.mpg

Thanks
Jagadeesh
