You will see the webcam image in the main window. Down the bottom of the screen will be a row of buttons. When you hover your mouse over the buttons, you will see the title bar on the window describe its purpose.
- The button "Take a Picture" will save an image to quickcam.jpg
- The button "AVI Start/Stop" starts/stops saving to a video called video.avi
These items will be saved in the current working directory
Mysteries needing resolution
I have yet to determine how to combine the webcam with other programs like camorama and instant messaging. Any ideas? I saw a post at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00808.html:

Xawtv is known not to work with the Linux UVC driver. It doesn't support V4L2 properly. The latest mplayer version should work, as I sent a patch to fix a few small problems. You could also try luvcview and ekiga.
From http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Webcams:
* The linux-uvc driver is V4L2-only. This means applications which support V4L1 only will not work. V4L1 is officially deprecated, and have been removed from the kernel recently, so most drivers have or will switch to V4L2 anyway.
* The 4 webcams mentioned above compress images in MJPEG for resolutions up to 960x720. This means that applications must be able to decompress MJPEG streams to use the webcam at lower resolutions. Ekiga supports MJPEG compression.
* On some hardware, a possible bug in the webcam firmware is triggered by Linux. L
From http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321862:
Webcam drivers are broken in edgy. If you must have webcam support, use dapper or wait for a possible fix with fiesty. I'm not necessarily saying to give up in edgy, but your chances are slim.
