VLC/Philips Webcam

[Robert Kopp]

With MPEG-1, the local video appears to freeze, but a video is still recorded. The file should have an .mpg extension.

Subject: VLC/Philips Webcam

I have checked to see if this subject has been discussed recently, and I didn't come up with an exact match. Anyhow, on FreeBSD 7 (64-bit), I am attempting to record video clips with a Creative Webcam Pro Ex and VLC-0.86. I built the pwcbsd driver from the port and obtained a display from the Webcam.

I tried saving the video as MP4, and it doesn't like it. I also tried MPEG-1, as I previously did with the same device on Linux, but the image freezes. Can someone suggest other possibilities, or has someone who tried to save as MP4 and encountered such a problem successfully solved it?
