Howdy Folks!

I'm getting the following error when trying to use vidcat.

VIDIOCMCAPTURE: Invalid argument
args: width=640 height=480 palette=1
Error: Can't get image

The command used is.

vidcat -f jpeg -q 35 -g -s 640x480  -d /dev/video0 > /tmp/tmp.jpg

I suspect that the error is rather self-explanatory, but I am clueless as to which iteration of parameters may work for the intel pc cam pro.  I've tried using the -p option, which changes the palette argument, and adjusting the size ( 320x240), which changes the width and height arguments, to no avail.

As indicated in the subject, I am attempting to use the SPCA50X USB Camera Linux Driver.

Your help is welcomed and I await.
