Help me build our tested devices page.

Hi,

I've started a list of know to work devices for Ekiga here:
http:
//wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Tested_hardware
Currently it is mostly about webcams.

I would like you to tell me what kind of device you've been
able to use
with Ekiga (webcams, USB/bluetooth/Firewire... devices).

For each device I would like to know:
1- The vendor name and device name (maybe the ship name if
you want)
2- The plateform: Linux/Windows/...
3- The interface (USB, Firewire,...)
4- The driver name and version
5- The plugin selected in the Ekiga preferences (for audio
and video
devices)

6- Any relevant infos you might add...

Regards,
Yannick

Regarding Firewire DV cameras (the ones with the avc1394
plugin), you
could explicitly mention that they work, period (or
"should work" if you
so prefer). Right now the wiki says "Firewire camera
supported by Linux
should work".  No maker is going to put a "Linux
compatible" logo on a
DV camera, so it may be a good idea to mention these. Oh,
and such
cameras hardly fit in the Webcams category (or you could
rename the
category to "Cameras").

I have personally used these two: SONY TRV-20[1] and a Canon
IXY DV
S1[2].  On Linux, Firewire interface, AVC1394 plugin, no
special driver
(in kernel firewire drivers are enough). Oldest tested
version is kernel
2.4.20.

I am curious, has anyone has used a High Definition DV
camera? I am
pretty sure that it won't work in HD mode, but I'd still
like to hear
people's experience.

Both added.

I hope the new sentence is better:
"Firewire cameras, including Firewire DV cameras,
should work too."

My Logitech QuickCam for Notebook Pro (old model, 046d:08b1
[1]) works
perfectly with pwc and v4l/v4l2 (the latter preferred).

I can confirm that my SONY DCR-PC55E [2] works
out-of-the-box with the
avc1394 plugin, but it doesn't with the dc1394 one: it says
that it
cannot access /dev/raw1394, but my user is in the correct
group and in
fact Kino [3] works perfectly with that camcorder.

Thx, bye,

Ehm, ehm, sometime I need to really think a bit more about
the meaning
of the words, thanks Julien for the remark 

Thx, bye,
