My hardware:

P4 3ghz dell
Ubuntu 11.04
Logitech USB Pro 3000 Quickcam

I am running code pulled down from svn last night.

motion and xawtv both work correct and give me 320 x 240 captures, ffmpeg will capture an avi just fine.


When i view the camera set to yuv420, ntsc, and 320 x 240 in zoneminder the image looks like a pseudo thermal image, mostly green and blue though. The camera light will go off and not work at all if i change the palette to anything but yuv420.

I did have to comment out some crop detection lines in zm_local_camera.cpp in order to get any output from zmu which is odd since I thought that error was fixed in a prior patch.

Before I commented out those lines I would not get any output from zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v other than crop not supported. Now I get the full output minus the missing crop data. The only supported formats according to zmu are raw and yv12.

Any ideas?

I borrowed a HP 2100 cam and am going to try it out to see if i get a similar issue, its a uvc driver device so I may open up more issues than its worth.

The hp 2100 cam worked fine. It used the uvc driver and yuyv pallette. Anyone have a camera that uses yuv420 pallette and using the current zm svn code that can verify both work together or a working settings configuration for the quickcam3000?

One other odd thing I noticed is that the color settings screen shows -1 for the bottom value and in the logs it says hue is not supported and defaults to zero.
