okay in gstreamer-properties there is a video output and input options -
in the previous mail i wrote about only the video output options

in the input options

there is
Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)
Video for Linux (v4l)
Test
Custom
I have a webcam connected and the output is pretty horrendous

a green jerky screen with the botton 4th of the screen showing a solid
green zone - this output occurs only in V4l2

in the v4l and custom i get the error message
"Video for Linux (v4l): Could not get/set settings from/on resource."

In test output output i get a pretty normal output screen

So it seems there are two problems - not good video playback in some
programmes (like VLC ) and not good video input

so again an suggestions

thanks
