Well, I have been working on this for a while now. I installed ZM via apt-get, plus all the other apts mentioned in numerous tutorials. I have tried many combinations of device paths and channels to no avail. Right now I am wondering why the DVC101 is listed as an audio device with lsusb:

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. QuickCam E2500 series
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2304:021a Pinnacle Systems, Inc. [hex] Dazzle DVC100 Audio Device
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Yes it has audio, but why isn't it listed as a video device?
Does anyone have this setup working? Any suggestions?
The Logitech cam won't work either....

I believe its just a mistake that card should output mpege stream anyways so its useless in zm. Zm must have a raw stream. This the problem with almost all usb capture cards. They compress the stream with mpeg and it very hard to reverse there compression.

Thanks, KINGOFKYA! It is very nice to know, I have been fighting a loosing battle with the DVC101.

I have the Logitech E2500 webcam. Same issues with that, no video. I just get the red letters for the source. Do you know if those cams compress also?

Thanks

Search the forum i belive some Logitech are compatible. First thing i would check is kernel log as your plugin in camera to see if it loads a driver.

run

tail -f /var/log/kern.log

then plug it in post what comes up.
