greetings, i have run into same problem as a friend who bought a logitech c310 webcam. he told me about them being on sale, so i decided to buy one also. the 2 webcam programs that i have installed from repos are 'camorama' and 'cheese'. both work well for single photos, but i can not get 'cheese' to make smooth, continuous video recording. what is recorded is a jerky motion for a few seconds, pause, short record, pause, repeatedly. sometimes, nothing is recorded. i have run several web searches on 'cheese', and tried various solutions, to various similar problems, but have not found any to cure problem i am having. system is an hp x86_64 w/ 2.8GiB memory KDE 4.3.4 ]$ cat /etc/centos-release CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ]$ uname -a 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 21:36:05 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ]$ cheese --version Cheese 2.28.1 i need to make a video for legal purposes this weekend, so any and all suggestions and recommendations greatly appreciated. tia. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g .

greetings, please excuse delay. pain gets priority. ;-) after many hours of retries using yum and verifying results of error messages, i may have figured out problem. tho not sure how to correct. when trying install with yumex, pulling from nux and rpmforge, i got noting. when trying install with yum, pulling from nux and rpmforge, i got noting. so, i pulled base files from nux, ran local install, got error messages for all dependencies. same for rpm forge. to my thinking, this would be because repo files have wrong urls. oops. [chemo brain] + [oxycodone for pain from surgery monday] = brain fart. smell told me i failed to enable nux site. install now running. will post back after testing vlc. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g .
