From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-2smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: I have a philips webcam PCVC675. I loaded modules pwc and pwcx. I run xawtv. The screen is black, and on stdout I see the following: This is xawtv-3.54, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.7-2smp) /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=5,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=4,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=1,size=128x96): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=7,size=128x96): Invalid argument no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Actual Results: xawtv screen is blank/black Expected Results: xawtv should show what the camera sees Additional info: The problem is that xawtv 3.54 is too old. The latest snapshot (xawtv-3.61) available from http://www.in-berlin.de/User/kraxel/xawtv.html has the support for yuv420p, which is necessary in order to support any philips webcams
