Webcam is where?

[PCessna]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10, Please keep that discussion out of this, and I notied my Panasonic webcam now works with cheese, but I don't know how to tell what device name it's picking my camcorder up as.

The reason is, Is because I want to try to use it to edit, but cheese seems to be the only application that actually sees it, and video works perfectly fine.

It's a Panasonic DV camcorder I'm using in WebCam mode, I'll try to get model later, or if anyone needs it

My webcam is /dev/video0 which is the norm for webcams.

Do you mean that you want to edit videos downloaded from the camera?
What happens when you connect the camera in normal mode,does the system detect it as a storage device?
Are you connecting it via usb lead?

Post output from a terminal of

lsusb

with the camera connected and not connected.Also the same when in webcam mode.


Good Luck

As said above, /dev/video0 is the usual location for webcams. If Cheese is the only program detecting your webcam, open up Cheese and go to Edit -> Preferences -- it will say where your webcam is.

Cheese says:
DVC (/dev/video01)

Yup, that's it.. Now why is Cheese the only program seeing it
