I assume you meant luvcview. It works for monitoring, but I can't |
| 11 |
figure out how to record properly... |

1) It outputs a raw stream file (named "stream.raw") which mplayer can't |
| 14 |
figure out how to play. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2) How do I get it to record audio too? |

I wouldn't mind transcoding the raw output, if I could get sound in |
| 19 |
there. ffmpeg can record mpeg4 video plus mp3 sound. The video has |
| 20 |
blocky artifacts when there's motion on the screen. I tried ffmpeg with |
| 21 |
x264 codec, but the cpu is simply not up to it. I used cpufreq-utils to |
| 22 |
push both cores to their max speed (1.3 ghz) but it didn't help. |
