If this is not the correct forum, I would appreciate where I could get help with something like this.
Ok, here's the situation. I have a Logitech low resolution camera that works fine with Skype and other webcam apps. But I have this HD Sony Handycam laying around doing nothing most of the time so I figured let's try to use this baby as a webcam.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I am connecting the composite out of the camera to a Video Capture/Grabber, a Sabrent USB-AVCPT device. So far so good.
I can see activity when I unplug the device from the computer such as /dev/video0 disappearing when I unplug the device. So I know the grabber is detected. I can get this config to work with Yahoo Messenger but it will not work with Skype. Any ideas how I can trouble shoot this?
My goal is to get the camera to work with WebRTC. (check out appear.in for some info).
Thanks,
Ray
