Hi,

I'm using VideoCapture to connect to my webcam in the following manner since OpenCV2.4.4:

cv::VideoCapture vcap;
cv::Mat image;
...
vcap.open(CV_CAP_ANY);
if(vcap.isOpened()){
    while(m_runGrabber){
      vcap >> image;
  }
}
...

and never had any problems. Since version 2.4.6 though, opening my cam fails and isOpened() always returns false. When I downgrade to 2.4.5 it works again. Also loading a video with 2.4.6 works, so the reason seems to be the combination of 2.4.6 and my webcam. I also tried to open the cam with the constructor. cv::VideoCapture vcap(CV_CAP_ANY); There is also no other camera connected, so CV_CAP_ANY should work as it did with version 2.4.5

I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 and Logitech C270 USB HD Webcam. The camera worked by plug & play, so i guess some standard drivers are used. If someone can explain me how, I would check which driver is used ;)

I'm gratefull for any tipps or suggestions.
