Description Yannick 2008-04-29 12:56:33 UTC 
For some reason, some webcams reverse the image horizontally.

To my knowledge, see e.g.
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2008-April/003450.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/223987

For interoperabilty, I suggest to implement a filter before sending the image flux to flip horizontally the image, with an option in prefs.

This might be also a first step in implementing filters in Ekiga (like image improvement using e.g. greycstoration... I know this one is very CPU intensive, but let's dream ;)

Regards,
Yannick

I have the feeling it is a webcam driver feature. But there is an option in ptlib for that, Matthias ?

Notice that greycstoration is under the CeCILL, which is GPL-compatible, but I don't know if we're compatible with it...
