Problem

I'm trying to get VLC to show my webcam in realtime: does the trick for the most part, except there's almost a second delay between an action (say, me turning my head) and seeing it in the video window. Is there any way to reduce the lag, or other software I can use (Gentoo Linux)?

Error Output

vlc -I dummy v4l2:///dev/video0
