Just an idea, Florin

I also have a Hauppauge WinTv capture and TV/Radio card and it displayed
the QCIF video format just fine with gnomemeeting-0.94.1-3.i386.rpm.
I have a different camera connected to it thow,but I don't think it is 
relevant
for the issue .
Maybe you just have to install a newer version ... and since the 0.96 is 
about to
be released maybe it's a good idea to wait until it comes out .

My system is  as follows :

Linux version 2.4.19 (root peterpan) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat 
Linux 8.0 3.2-7))
Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 17).
     IRQ 5.
     Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=16.Max Lat=40.
     Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xef000000 [0xef000fff].
 Bus  0, device   8, function  1:
   Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 17).
     IRQ 5.
     Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=255.
     Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee800000 [0xee800fff].

Good luck !
