Does there even *exist* a proprietary linux driver for my card? And because you never saw stripes with em28xx, they must not exist? :^P Well, it depends. What are your video adapter card? ATI?

If you do the same calculation when the actual framerate is greater than 29.97, you get a negative number of dropped frames. It looks weird, but it makes a kind of sense if you know what it really means. Such logic is broken. In the case of webcams, the framerate is generally less than 29.97 fps. For example, em2750 webcams, supported by em28xx driver, have a framerate of about 5 fps, due to sensor limits. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
