i noticed if i tried to 'set' the camera at all the flicker started i will try with 0.12.5 tonight. i also built the new effectv from source since i was testing cams --works with some cool new effects is there a way to add these? pdp_blueTV would be awesome. Could i make them myself? also tested and built coriander for the i-sight in linux--works good too.

1.) Logitech usb Webcam flickers wierdly when running through pidip/pdp patches--works fine with XAWTV and effectv [no flickers, but wierd color] can someone suggest a good webcam to use with ubuntu ppc?
there's something wrong with saving/restoring camera preferences with the newer philips cams. you can work around it by unplugging the cam before restarting pd, until i put a workaround in the code.
Patrick, list,
As I have mentioned a couple of times before on this list, there seem to be problems with webcams using the pwc driver (includes most Logitech cameras) with pdp. It appears that the problem is due to pdp trying to use functions that were specific to the old closed source Nemosoft pwc driver that has now been superseded by the reverse-engineered driver by Luc Saillard ( http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ ). My post [1] explains how to remove the pwc specific parts of the pdp code so that it will treat a webcam using the pwc driver like any other.
