The VideoLAN Forums

I am running vlc on an Ubuntu 1.7.10 box. When I capture live video it is displayed in black and white. I have attempted to adjust the color settings in "Advanced", but it does not respond to the changes. The extended gui is not working to change this either. Is it a setting I am missing, or a possible driver issue?
