Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Newbie: slow video

["Paul Nixon" <khobar95 hotmail com>]

Hello again,

No I have not tried GM to GM. That's what I was interested in doing when I 
ran into the libc6 thing. But you know, sometimes the most obvious answer is 
the most obscure, as I did not even think to look for older RPMS that might 
work with my Mandrake 7.2 install. Doe! I will take a look and post my 
results.

As for the webcam driver, I'm using a Bt848 capture card and my camcorder. 
There does seem to be a slight glitch in GM because it does not set the 
capture card to the right "channel" which in this case is composite 
input/NTSC. I have to first load Kwintv (yeah, I'm in Gnome but it works for 
this purpose) and get the camera going, then GM displays an excellent source 
image.

It *could* be that the WinTV card does not support the smaller frame sizes 
that GM seems to like. When I try to set the "set size" in Kwintv to 
something smaller than 320x240 it behaves rather strangely and appears to 
allow any vertical resolution but is fixed at 320 minimum. No idea what the 
problem is there, but I'll look into that as well. ANyway, my thought was 
that perhaps GM is trying to send this much larger video size and that is 
what's causing the slowdown.

Just a thought. THanks for the input. Like I said, if I find out anything 
I'll post the results.

Paul
