wxcam crashes system
« on: July 12, 2011, 06:59:37 AM »
I have attempted to get wxcam to work on my system (eBox cpu with Q-TEC Webcam 100) without success.

When I start wxcam it just shows a green screen with lots of moving lines. If I try to set the preferences to something else other than YUYV, I find that when I go to exit the program my entire system locks up. I have to power off to restore.

Help needed.

Peter.

I can not make any sense out of tweaking the values in the conf file.
I still just get a green screen with noise lines.
