The mdcam-063 version works in the format of single jpeg files :-) Thanks

I feel good about it too.

This is not what I mean, but about saving .avi video and .jpeg image files In my case, it only saves the .avi file, but not the .jpeg files? Maybe I am doing something wrong in the program settings?

Click the button with photo camera icon. The file name should appear in the status bar. Something like /home/user/Temp/s-20201214-170545.jpg This is path of your file.

For me it doesn't work, it doesn't save jpeg files in any path ... I changed and checked the path on the status bar?

Default path for the files is Pictures Location. Usually it is $HOME/Pictures. You can set the directory for files. In the Options dialog double click on the "Snapshot directory" value field. It opens Select directory dialog. Select the directory where you want to save files. All files should be here.

I checked in the system whether it was saved in another location, but nothing was found: find -name s-20201214*

JPEG images options not working only .avi file

md2222

You mean "JPEG quality" or "Motion JPEG quality"? You want different quality for picture and video at the same time?
