It doesn't seem to matter if I choose Pin 0 or 1, I still get raw video from the Logitech c930e webcam. On Linux, the supposed command involves v4l2, but this does not appear to exist in the default Windows version of ffmpeg from

I found this interesting article on Logitech's website instructing the user to change the default Logitech driver to the generic USB Video Device driver: _us/article/Install-native-UVC-drivers-for-your-Logitech-webcam?product=a0qi00000069v0MAAQ#

Thanks, I could resolve my problem following the link _us/article/Install-native-UVC-drivers-for-your-Logitech-webcam?product=a0qi00000069v0MAAQ# you provided from Logitech. In my case (I have A C920 webcam, NOT C930e), in a Windows 7 PC it worked ok with Logitech drivers, but failed in a Windows 8.1 computer.

Executing ffmpeg -f dshow -list_options true -i video="Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920" did NOT show any h264 stream. After changing the driver, the camera name lost the Logitech in its name (just "HD Pro Webcam C920"), but now detected the h264 stream and ffmpeg could record it.

I am currently using the webcam Logitech C310 with Ubuntu for my online meetings which was plug and play. I did not need to do anything. Cheese app detected it spontaneously with good video and audio and Google meet works perfectly. Voice and video is OK with the C310. I want to upgrade to the Logitech C930-E (currently sold in amazon) for better video and voice quality. Are there any additional drivers required or is is the C930 plug and play as well?

My updates after buying and using c930e for a few days. The c930e is plug and play with ubuntu 20.04 as far as the basic features. The Cheese app and Google meet work instantly with no issues. The video is much clearer and sharper than the c310. Voice is OK.

previously i had connected this camera
=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_gZauFbQG55NYR
it showed up in the menus and when clicked showed up and worked but the picture was crappy.it was like i was zoomed so far out as i could see a foot almost outside my bed that when i tried to do anything with the image it was too blury. i think i only went for that one because the lightburn camera used the same chip.
so its been months and i though id give up and try a new camera.

getting one from lightburn sadly is too costly and time consuming as i live in the uk so import tax etc is added.
so i tried my logitech c930e and low and behold it worked and worked pretty good. this one seamed a little close so i used the logietech software,zoomed it right out and it was perfect but thats my streaming camera and over 150 i dont want to smash appart to get it to fit on my laser so i again though id go for a webcam that had the similar chip inside as the lightburn cameras to give max compatibility however the only one i found was from china and would take a month to get too me. so i though well my logitech worked ,ill go for a different usb webcam which was this one
amazon.co.uk Depstech Upgraded 2K Webcam with Dual Microphone, QHD USB Web Camera with Auto...Buy

things ive tried:-
adding it after and before opening lightburn
running lightburn in admin mode
running lightburn in compatibility mode
reinstalling the driver
checking that its in my list of allowed apps and making sure it has full access to the camera
many thanks in advance

i went into tools - calibrate camera lens but i dont see a capture button.i see the list with my camera in it and if i select it i can choose standard and then the dropdown box does now show a list of different settings.
am i guessing that i will need to do (none- do full calbration) and use the black dots on the machine?just that im not with my machine so if thats it then ill have to do that in the morning.thanks

great i will have a play and keep people posted on here.eventually i would like to get the higher quality camera from yourselves but i am still in the very basic learning stage and wanted to get to grips with it all first to see if its something i will keep enjoying to do rather than throw loads of money into it and not do anything with it.i must say your software is fantastic.
