Bleh!
Exactly what I was seeing. I incorrectly called it stuttering but it is more like a freeze frame from time to time. Logitech driver under Linux (uvcvideo) have extra settings but they are accessible only via gstreamer (neither ffmpeg, nor vlc supports them) when using gstreamer there are were no frame freezes AFAIR. http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2012/09/uvc-h264-encoding-cameras-support-in-gstreamer/ -- Georgi Chorbadzhiyski | http://georgi.unixsol.org/ | http://github.com/gfto/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
