$ make install
modprobe ov51x-jpeg

I have in my mplayer green line various screen roll the same in Skype even when I added in /etc/modprobe.d/options

Re: [sloved] Creative Live webcam and HQ Video in Skype

ok here is solution

First I was remove gspca_ov519

rrmod gspca_ov519

Next I added that module gspca_ov519 to blacklist

/etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist

reboot

now I was installed ov51x-jpeg

and added that line options ov51x-jpeg forceblock=1 to

/etc/modprobe.conf

and

/etc/modprobe.d/options

Now my webcam works correctly in Skype and another aplications big_smile

High Quality Video 640 x 480 in Skype

Probably you know how to do that...

If you want to send HQ Video 640x480 plese edit file home/user/.Skype/username/config.xml

and in section <Video> add

<CaptureHeight>480</CaptureHeight>
<CaptureWidth>640</CaptureWidth>
<Fps>25</Fps>

Here's my section of Video

<Video>
      <AutoSend>1</AutoSend>
      <CaptureHeight>480</CaptureHeight>
      <CaptureWidth>640</CaptureWidth>
      <Fps>25</Fps>
      <RecvPolicy>callpolicy</RecvPolicy>
</Video>


that's all restart Skype and send HQ Video

Regards

I can also add only:

<Video>
<Fps>30</Fps>
</Video>

It will send video in the default resolution of 320x240 but will use the fps you set. This solved a strange problem I had with my notebook's webcam.
You can set higher or lower resolutions and fps (if your webcam supports them of course) and skype will use that without problems, I haven't tested with resolutions higher than 640x480 though, maybe it will not work. Oh and you don't even need to restart skype, it will use that setting on the next call smile
