AVI (176 x 144) 8.00fps
GSpot says the video codec is DivX 4 (OpenDivX), and the audio is PCM Audio 8000Hz 128 kb/s (1 chnl) mono.
The audio takes up about 60% of the file size.
10 seconds recorded results in about a 310 KB file in my test.
Note: The N800 camera is rated less than one MP IIRC. This is never going to be a replacement for a real camera or video camcorder, but useful none the less.

Can anyone please upload their OS2008 libgstvideoscale.so file for me? It's located at /usr/lib/gstreamer0.10.
I accidentally deleted it, and it's needed for the videocamera to work, I suppose. I can't reinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-base package and Debian lenny's armel version of the file's not working for me...
Thanks in advance!

hillsdalebob: You can go into the Internet call => Tools => Settings to shut off the automatic launch of Internet call when the camera is extended.

Also, the N800 camera can handle up to 640x480. Obviously, the camera resolution is not the bottleneck here.
Overall, the N800 Video Camera is a cool concept, but it seems that the IT just doesn't have the CPU oomph necessary to encode decent video on the fly. Is this the best that the CPU can do? Is there any way we could get 320x240 video at 15fps?
Are there other, faster-encoding codecs out there that may not be as universally compatible as DivX but require less CPU? I would be willing to trade compatibility for some higher-quality video.
Also, I would love to have something like the Peekaboo project for OS2008. Streaming video is much more interesting to me than recording video.
