Cheese application is unable to make a video from my web cam:

After attaching my old web cam it seem to not work for video recoding, I start it and it shows only few frames and then freezes and the CPU is going up to 100%. I cannot stop the recoding (I am able to press the stop button but it just greys out and nothing changes) I have to kill the app to stop it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cheese-2.24.2-1.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach the cam and start cheese
2. Switch to video mode and press record
3.
  
Actual results:
The image freezes and the CPU stands at 100% until the application is killed

Expected results:
Normal video recording

Additional info:
It might be something with the kernel also, because skype is also exiting if I try to use it with the webcam, in f9 both skype and cheese used to work very well.

This is not a problem with the video recording, but with the audio recording, see bug 476341.

As for skype, try launching it from a terminal like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
