WebCam Instant No Video

I just installed a WebCam Instant, and it's working fine on my end, i.e. it captures videos and pix. But when I started video chat session via Yahoo!Messenger, the other party didn't receive the video feed from my camera, although I could see them just fine - I deduce that to mean I have no problem with my firewall. What gives? Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

Have you try using MSN or the webcam software?

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?

I am trying to use a microsoft webcam & set up video/...

I am trying to use a microsoft webcam & set up video/voice communication on MSN messenger. I can do instant messaging but have had no success with video. I have a wrt54g wireless router - It seems to be start to connect but then gives off a connection or time out message - Any one have problems doing this or a solution ?
Linksys chat suggested it may be related to the firewall & maybe updating the firmware - but looking at other messages here, am skeptical -- I had similar connection problems with AIM.
otherwise - anyone able to set up video chats using another messenger (or router even). Thanks for any help -

hi... logon to the router's setup page and try reducing the MTU values to 1365,click on the "applciations & gaming" try forwarding 6901 port for Voice communication...and as far as Video communication concern you need to forward the port for the Webcam that you are using, get in touch with the Microsoft and get the port no. of the particular camera that you are using.. and forward it on the router's setup page...also make sure that you have latest firmware installed on the router...check whether it works for you or not and let me know...

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.

P4: icuuc40.dll P5: 4.0.0.3207
You're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file. (Apple Application Support is where program files that are used by more than one Apple program are kept.) Some XP systems aren't liking the 4.0.0.3207 version of the dll that is included in Apple Application Support 1.5.0.
The workaround at the moment on XP is to either:
(1) Swap out your existing version of the dll for the 4.0.0.3205 version that was included in Apple Application Support 1.4.1.
(2) Alternatively, you could download the icu4c-401-Win32-msvc8.zip from:
http://icu-project.org/download/4.0.html
... extract the 4.0.1.0 version of the dll from that package, and replace your current 4.0.0.3207 with that.
The location of the existing file on your system is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\icuuc40.dll
Drag the copy you find there out onto your desktop, and then drag in the version 4.0.0.3205 or the 4.0.1.0.

i'll reply since you will most likely get lots of views and NO reply -
i don't know about your internet issue. theres likely some sort of conflict between the drivers and every kind of application used to display web pages. hopefully some person @ creative or some moderator on this forum can help out more with this? anyway, i found a page with the drivers for your camera (model VF0330).

Webcam instant failure to install

Hi guys, have just bought the webcam instant which comes with game star games, however neither of the 2 disc start up, each one logging a fatal error message, so i cant even install the software.
Help please!
Paul

Hi Paul,
I have experienced similar problems but have narrowed it down to the next to last level before the BIOS.
In my opinion, the installation problem is due to the last Windows Update.
I can plug and play the webcam and use it in MSN Messenger but Windows does not retain the hardware installation and then everything starts crashing after I reboot. My only option is to perform a System Restore in Fail Safe mode to get my system stable again.
I would wait until Microsoft fixes that which needs fixing and try to install it again after the next Windows Update (probably due in about two weeks from now (2nd Dec 2005))

Webcam Instant Distorted Images

I have recently successfully installed Webcam Instant, but the image I see on my own screen during Skype calls is distorted to show 4 of me and 2 of who I am speaking to. The image on my screen is also very poor quality and of a pale green colour. Apparently the image received from my camera at the other end is AOK. Any ideas on how to solve the problem ?

Hi Batlasi,
If memory serves me well, the Webcam Instant supports up to Windows XP. You may verify by referring to this link as well.
