It's good to know that `Creative labs ct6840' is
capable of compression. Do I need to find any
API (like pwc-ioctl.h for Philips WebCam) in addition
to upgrade the ov511 driver?
There is a similar API (ioctl() on /proc/video/ov511/<minor#>/control)
but it is not necessary to use compression. You only need to load the
driver with "compress=1" and then load ov511_decomp.o
What kind of fps can I reach if I stick to this model
of WebCam?
15 FPS at 640x480, and 30 FPS at 320x240. 60 FPS may be possible at
lower resolutions. Testing was done with xawtv; some apps (ones that use
read()) may be slower. Most USB webcams perform similarly to this.
