Webcam RD32 HD Problem

[Deguoxiaoma]

Hi Forum,

I was trying to find an existing post, but did not find anything, if I overlooked something apologize in advance.

I am on Ubuntu 11.10 / Intel Celeron CPU 2,2 Ghz, 4 Gig RAM, the camera is a Redleaf RD32 II http://www.hkredleaf.com/product_sho...d=1&classid=26

My problem is that I can not get it running via Cheese or anyother programm, I would like to use to create some time elapse.

I tried around in the terminal and got the following info:

Anyone any idea, what I can do to get it running?

Thank you very much for your support!

Have you tried using ffmpeg to extract frames from the AVI file that your camera produces?
You might have to convert the AVI, I have never tried this.

Hi thanks for your answer. I guess that would be the next step. I do not get the camera running in Ubuntu at all Any idea, what I could do to get it running and controlled by e.g. Cheese?

thx

I'm no expert but unless it came with a Windows program that can control it I doubt if that is possible. I guess it just shows as a USB mass storage device in Linux.
But someone might know, good luck.
