Problem with Video Webcam

[Nero60]

Using latest version of Ubuntu (8.04) with latest updates. I have an ET USB 2750 Video Camera from eMPIA Technology. I was told that to utilize the camera with Ubuntu, I should download "Camorama Webcam Viewer" and that should activate video camera capabilities. When I try to use "Camorama Webcam Viewer", I receive the following error message "Unable to Capture Image. Is this a set-up problem or should I be using some other type of add-on?

Instead of camorama you could try cheese too.
Do you have more then one webcam or do you have a tv-card in your system?
Camorama is looking for a /dev/video0 device by default.
You could try the command in a terminal:
camorama -d=/dev/video1
If you have a second webcam or a tv-card.

I have only one video camera which is built in to my laptop. The laptop does have a tv card. I tried your suggestion and receive "Could not connect to video device" Please check connection.

I'm not sure what cam you have but you could try to install and use easycam:

Try installing V4l. V4l2 did not find my Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX camera in Ekiga but V4l found it by name. Then it worked with everything.
