Thread: Easycap Skipping Frames (Not Working)

i purchased easycap see if work in linux. (it less $10)

installed drivers located on sourceforge. had go recovery mode installed because snd_usb_audio being used , caused not install otherwise.

drivers installed, still can't seem work. example, trying record mencoder results in endless amount of skipped frames. also, cheese tries it, shows spinning "loading" image forever. here terminal output mencoder:

ryan@ryan-desktop:~$ mencoder tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0:input=1:norm=1:width=640: height=480 -vf pp=md -o recording -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=8000
