I assume you meant luvcview. It works for monitoring, but I can't figure out how to record properly... 1) It outputs a raw stream file (named "stream.raw") which mplayer can't figure out how to play. 2) How do I get it to record audio too? I wouldn't mind transcoding the raw output, if I could get sound in there. ffmpeg can record mpeg4 video plus mp3 sound. The video has blocky artifacts when there's motion on the screen. I tried ffmpeg with x264 codec, but the cpu is simply not up to it. I used cpufreq-utils to push both cores to their max speed (1.3 ghz) but it didn't help. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
