Hi all,

I would like to use the usb_cam package to integrate my logitech c920 into my project. Unfortunately, I get the following output when I use mjeg as pixel format:

[swscaler @ 0x4453c7a0] No accelerated colorspace conversion found from yuv422p to rgb24.

Due to the high resolution pictures is this compression necessary, otherwise my system would be to slow. I have a lack of 3-4 seconds with yuyv as pixel format.

I followed this guide to reinstall ffmpeg from source but it didn't change anything... I would very much appreciate any ideas to solve this issue. Thanks

EDIT1:

I found this post where they mention that the 6.2 Version should work. I installed it but the error message is now:

[mjpeg @ 0x4461b040]codec type or id mismatches

I'm afraid I have had this problem in the past and it has nothing to do with ROS. Rather, it is a ffmpeg issue, as you found out. So either you figure out how to get ffmpeg work with it or you'll have to change webcam.

that what I don't know... I looked up the code under sensor_message/image_encoding.cpp which just offers me rgb16 and not rgb24 how can I change that?

@georgebrindeiro Do you know a HD Webcam which supports some compression?

I don't know any HD Webcams which support some compression and work well with ffmpeg, but maybe you will find the information you need in the OpenCV Camera Compatibility lists.
