guvcview: can not record video

Question

I installed guvcview, when I try to record a video, it records my voice and one single image. It does not record all the frames (images). How to solve this?

Cheese comes by default in Ubuntu 16. I prefer guvcview because it has better options — Billal BEGUERADJ, Apr 11 '18 at 03:36

Change video codec setting

Try changing the video codec guvcview is using to H.264. To do that, start guvcview, open the Video menu, then Video Codec, then MPEG4-AVC (H264). With this it should correctly record.
