skype 2.0.0.13 - no video

I upgrade to the new version of skype. I can see others video but I can't see my video. I'm using OmeniVision camera with ov51x-jpeg driver. It works on vlc in "open capture device", but doesn't work on skype.
any suggestions?

I couldn't get it to work with that camera either. If you look here:

and follow the link that berkus posted, you'll find others have had the same problem. There's a post about this particular camera at Skype, but the last time I checked it was unanswered. I've since bought a new camera, a Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, and it works perfectly with the uvcvideo module.
