The post at the start of this thread no longer says what it originally did.
I point this out since my previous post in this thread quotes part of the post as it originally appeared at the start of the thread in which the OP states that the camera for which they supposedly need to install drivers actually works in cheese and vlc.

...OP is getting frustrated...and right now, I dont know how to help him. This dyslexia is getting in his way...not way he CAN be any clearer...
Okay, falwiki: I think you have many problems.
I think you mix them.
We will try to solve them one at a time.
First we will try to help with flash.
You typed that settings are grayed out.
Go to this site http://www.youtube.com/user/YouTubeHelp#p/u
Right-click on the movie.
All the options are available.
Set your options.
If that is done, then we move on to the next problem.
I will watch this thread.
Dont panic!

Thank you for your reply as I posted before I am Dyslexic and either type or see or click the opposite things I am trying to do. For example I meant to call msyelf FALKIWI Not FALWIKI.
I went to utube and right clicked on the video being redirected to Macromedia Flash site. Been there done that before.
Attached is a screenshot from my WEBCAM Using Cheese, of what happens when I try to upload a video. I assumed it had to do with Drivers, obviously not.
As stated earlier I am dyslexic so I Dont see If my messages are correctly posted. To me they look normal.

Are you recording for youtube?
I see part of a web adress in that picture.
I doubt you have a problem with drivers.
If VLC and Cheese work, then you're okay.
Have you seen this page yet? http://www.google.com/support/youtub...n&answer=57409
Otherwise, record it on your computer and upload the movie.
SOLVED IT MYSELF
Websites Trying to hack in but linux stopped it by greying out Settings option on webcam.
Windows would have F****D Me.
3 Cheers 4 Linux Hip ray Hip ray Hip ray.
Ladies and Gents, a Linux star is born. Falkiwi, I for one MUST congratulate you!
Thanks for this answer! Welcome to the Pack!

greying out Settings option
Seen that one, went to the YouTube site and there I did get all the settings...had my own thread about monochrome YouTube, solved it with some good folks helping out , I guess htis to have been something along those lines...
