I had problems getting Skype video to work on my Ubuntu box. What I eventually did was to lean back on v4l1.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ./skype
I'm moving to Skype 4.0 and wanted to make sure I tracked this change.
Also blogging about my old Acer Aspire 5920g when trying to get the CrystalEye Webcam to work on my old Gutsy Gibbon. I had a few scripts written and also installed uvcview (I believe).
To get the camera to record, I used this line:
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -r 24 -i /dev/video0 -f avi filename.avi
Installed luvcview and ran this line to get webcam to capture snapshots.
luvcview -f yuv
You will need libsdl for this to work as well as the uvcvideo drivers.
From lsmod:
uvcvideo, compat_ioctl32, videodev, v4l1_compat, v4l2_common
$ wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/uvc/luvcview-20070512.tar.gz$ tar zxvf luvcview-20070512.tar.gz$ cd luvcview-20070512$ make$ make install
