Creative webcam instant problem:

Just recently bought this cam, worked fine for a week but now not able to record video: Getting message stating unable to capture video. Please check you have sufficient space on your hard disk. And the following are set correctly: - Video compressor-Audio compressor I know for a fact i have enough disk space, over 6MB Could anyone help. Thanks,Bill.

In the Creative WebCam Center software, go to Tools->Settings->Capture tab. You should be able to see a Video Capture option by the left side(make sure your WebCam is connected to the computer). Click that and then try changing the video compressor format used.

Big problems with creative webcam instant (sample included)

yesterday i purchased a creative webcam instant, and i am dissapointed in the quality of the video.
The frame rate is great, however there is artifacting and the video jumps around all over the place.
I have never had a problem with any other imaging devices before, so i cant see why this is happening with this camera.
This happens with the creative webcam center, and also in any other application that uses video from the camera (such as any instant messenger program)
Here is a .88 meg file to show you how the video jumps around.

Blah! The WEBCamInstant is "cheap" & nasty & for beach light only.
1. You have a USB-2?

Creative Webcam Pro Problem - Resolution.

Hi. I've recently dug up my old Webcam Pro and encountered out the following problem when using it:
All data sources indicate that it is capable of capturing video at 640x480/5fps, but this one captures it at a much lower resolution, probably 320x240 or 352x288. In the Creative Blaster control webcam monitor the maximum setting is 352x288 and I couldn't finf any more placed with the settings for the camera.
My question is - how to set it up to use the VGA resolution?

Umm... Problem solved - I downloaded the webcam center. Couldn't it be available to Webcam Pro as well on the download site? Webcam pro isn't even there, but it works with it.
Now I have another problem - the video look like if it had a constant grain-filter applied to it - it's simply VERY grainy and the grains do not move. Plus I'm getting only 0 fps max with auto-brightness and auto-exposure off.

Drivers for creative webcam instant to windows 7

Windows XP doesn't support Parallel Port webcams, so I do not believe it is even possible to make such a driver. That webcam was also made back in 994-95...
Sorry.

WebCam Instant - Horrible framerate

Hi
I just had a look around the forums and noticed there are quite a few threads regarding problems with the WebCam Instant model. Anyhow, my problem isn't as severe as most of those, for the moment anyway..
I'm experiencing some really horrible framerates, ranging from 9 to 20, primarily in the lower region. This goes for both the WebCam center and MSN Messenger. On top of that, the capturing seems to freeze every 5 or 6 seconds, which lasts about half a second. As you can imagine, this is getting quite frustrating. I just reformatted my harddri've and reinstalled windows, hoping that would fix my problem, but alas - it did not.
I was hoping this new camera would provide a significant upgrade to my webcam photographing quality and video shooting, but my old cam which I bought for barely a dime and a nickle honestly performed way better than my WebCam Instant is currently doing.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I bougth the creative webcam Instant with a small microphone package yesterday. The microphone is very great. Its sound is very clear and loud, but my friend told that she heard very loud noise. It causes from the microphone because when I removed it, the noise was disappear. Moreover, like erique87's case, the framerate of the webcam is horrible. I used it with yahoo messenger. It is not freeze, but it is not smooth. Its framerate from yahoo is about 0.7 fps.
My friend's webcam is logitech. It shows higher framerate about 1.8 fps.
I would like to know that how I can adjust the framerate. I don't need the higher quality. I prefer smooth picture. I change the quality in the yahoo messenger option to the fast speed, but nothing changed. Please let me know. [email protected]
Thanks.

WebCam Creative NX - Silly problems

Hello all,
I bought the WebCam NC from Creative. After the installation I started the WebCam Monitor and could see a normal functioning video for some seconds bevor the monitor (only the WebCam Monitor) was freezing. (I use XP prof.)
I have the problem all the time. I changed the USB-Ports, restarted the system and all this stuff to solve the problem, but until now I can't reach any solution.
My girlfriend has the same camera and it is functioning.
Please help!
Thank's in advance.

My new Creative Webcam li've! Got this same problem too. I had got a replacement for it already but stills same problem. Then i try it on my another pc, seems it stop freeze. I'm guessing is the usb port problem. I had a Amd barton 2500+ pc and a P4 3G. It only freeze if i use it on the Amd pc. Any one have any idea?

Webcam Instant Image is AWFUL!

hello, im wondering if someone can help me. i've recently bought the creative webcam live effects. installed it, PERFECT picture quality. problem is, it was as SLOW as watchng paint dry. i returned that to the store and bought the creative instant. everything works perfect except the picture quality. its VERY grainy. previous to these two i had owned a creative webcam 5 (i believe it was called) and that worked perfectly (until i accidently stepped on it) anyway, im using windows xp,service pack ,intel CPU 240GHz, 52MB of RAM
can anyone help or should i also return this one as well?

sorry. can't help u with ur problem. But i share ur pain and agony. i was using pc cam 900 with excellent results and now i am using 950 slim with awful results. My question is also posted on the noticeboard. perhaps, there is a secret plan by creative to degrade the qualities of all its latest problems.

Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?
