Re: How do i test my webcam without using cheese?
install, i use it like this to record from my inbuilt laptop webcam with this command , which outputs the recorded file to the /tmp folder ( *note you will not be able to view the output in realtime unlike with cheese )Code:ffmpeg
or try commandCode:ffmpeg -sameq -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt rgba -y /tmp/out.mpgand under the video tab choose your webcam and press the test button.Code:gstreamer-properties
