It means that your driver doesn't support the YUV420P format for colors.

Yes, it seems to only support RGB24.
The trick is to add a hint in pwlib to say that your particular camera
only supports RGB24. I'll send you a mail to tell you how to do it.
Then we will add your patch to Equivalence.


A quick trick to make GnomeMeeting work, edit videograbber.cpp
and look for YUV420P, replace it by RGB24 (or RGB32 I think).

It is a partial fix. but the real fix must be added into pwlib.
