Problems with generating films and linux kernel error

Question

Hi,

I get this error after a few seconds (30s) of running motion: uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-27)

I have another problem.. the videos only have 1second and i don't know the reason.

Above are the configuration file and the syslog that show the kernel error.

Regards.
