Re: [Qemu-devel] webcam under windows xp guest

[Natalia Portillo]

Connecting the webcam directly with usb pass-thru will never work well because 
of timing issues.

Too much USB packets dropped and image that cannot be formed.

If you want to use it, use the qemu-v4l2 patchset posted two months ago in the 
list.

It's still experimental but will give you image if your webcam is supported.
