Note that these problems were clearly evident in guvcview. Some of the low resolution yuv modes worked in guvcview but most did not. None of the JPEG modes worked. So, if Matt is experiencing no problems with any of the resolutions in guvcivew, he's seeing a different issue. I'm afraid that I never really resolved the issue. It's been quite a while since I looked at this but my conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with uvcvideo. When I compared the usb logs for Windows and Ubuntu for the same resolution, I could see that the requests sent by Windows and Ubuntu to setup the resolution and initiate streaming were almost identical (and I actually modified uvcvideo to make them identical). However, the data return was not. In Windows the data was correctly formatted. In Ubuntu it was not. Had uvcvideo received the data sent by the camera under Windows, the camera would have operated correctly. My conclusion was that the issue was therefore either lower down in the Linux USB stack or there was some camera configuration magic going on in Windows which was necessary for the camera to operate correctly. But at that point I switched laptop and stopped investigating.
