Title:
  720P video lagging, massive framedrops and out of sync

Status in Cheese Camera Application:
  Unknown
Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Incomplete
Status in “cheese” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gst-plugins-bad0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When recording a video with Cheese with a 1280x720 resolution, the
  image is blurry whenever there is motion (this might be a webcam
  limitation) but after a few seconds there are also massive framedrops.
  This results in a jerky video at best, where the audio is at times
  completely out of sync with the video.

  When scaling back to 640x480 (the next 'best' thing), things are
  smoother (at least there are no massive framedrops). But 640x480 is
  not widescreen and not even close to HD, making Cheese useless for my
  aim of being able to create quick-yet-good-enough-looking headshot
  videos for online use.
