hello,

yes this was me ;-)

like i wrote, cheese is working for me fine for recording videos. i also can watch the videos, but
the are not correctly saved an therefor i cannot edit them.

i tried the new cheese_0_2_4_refactor but it seems to be not working atm like with the other branch.
i hope you will fix this in the future.

so keep up your good work, cheese is great! and your roadmap is nice ;-)
