Hi Folks, We've been setting up some video conferencing tests and are now noticing that the image produced/transmitted by VIC under Linux is not as good as the quality of the image produced under Windows. We are using what we have found to be the latest and same version of VIC on both Windows and Linux (vic-2.8ucl-1.1.3) as well as using the same computer hardware and camera. On Linux we are running bttv-0.7.57 on a 2.2.18 kernel. What appears different on Linux is : . the effect of what appears to be scan lines (grainy) around objects as they move . a constant adjustment being made of color on everthing in view. We believe we can rule out the video card and bttv card as they produce more acceptable (although slower) results under windows. We are wondering if anyone could say whether this may be the result of the video4linux interface on the driver side, or the video4linux coding on the VIC side? Maybe someone else has experience in a similar situation? Any insight always appreciated, JES -- James B.
