linux usb 摄像头测试软件webcam spcaview luvcview xawtv 使用问题

在用v4l进行测试时，总会出现问题，而且大部分都是 ... Invalid argument，这让我很是无解。这个问题专门开贴来解决。先说一下我用的测试软件。

现在的平台

ubuntu

Linux version 2.6.27-7-generic

usb摄像头驱动:UVC(USB Video Class Linux device driver)-->集成.

( 从2.6.26开始, gspca已经合并到内核中间,
名称为UVC(USB Video Class Linux device driver), 在driver/media/video/gspca目录. 编译时只需勾选相关的模块即可.)

 

接下来我下载了几个测试测试摄像头可用以下几个软件:
webcam

spcaview

luvcview

xawtv

（spcaview是编译安装，剩下的sudo apt-get install ...）

这几个软件运行后，后两个(luvcview xawtv)可以看到采集图像，前两个不成功。。。下面是执行后信息。
