WebCam Live! Pro: Video Playback Plays Too Fast...

I recorded a few clips for about 0 to 5 seconds each. When i playback on different players, PowerDVD, DivX Player, Windows Media Player and even the WebCam Center's own player, the video plays like its fastforwarding, and it says that the video is only 2 to 3 seconds long. The recording
format is:
Colour Space/Compression: RGB24
Output Size : 640 x 480
Frame Rate : 30fps
Compression Control : All the way to Better Quality
And also what does the 30fps mean? Does it mean smooth video like those on television? Or, 30fps in WebCam terms, means better and smoother video over other WebCams?

Try turning off automatic exposure in the settings. And adjust some of the other settings (gamma, brightness, exposure) until you get a picture which you're happy with. And try that. In the UK, films are made at 24fps (frames per second) PAL format, and in America it's 30fps NTSC format. So yes, 30fps is as good as it gets! It's as good as TV and better than a lot of other webcams.

  • Video Audio plays too fast

    I seem to have this problem with videos from
    finance.yahoo.com when I never had this problem? Anyway to slow it
    down? I don't recall ever having this problem and I did a uninstall
    reinstall of flash player. works on youtube, etc with no problem
    but every videos from finance.yahoo.com is too fast.

    Does Streamclip allow you to choose between Type 1 and Type 2 DV AVI? If so then you want Type 2 in your conversions.
    Cheers

  • Audio recording/playback plays too fast, faster than Video

    : Whenever I record sound from my computer, whether it's from my mic or just sounds playing on the computer, the recorded file always plays the audio faster than the video. I've checked the drivers and re-installed several times, even reformatted and it's still the same thing. I even played around with the hardware acceleration meter with trial and error and it end's up always the same.
    What could be the problem?

    Try turning off automatic exposure in the settings. And adjust some of the other settings (gamma, brightness, exposure) until you get a picture which you're happy with. And try that.

  • Videos play too fast on ipad - sounds like super high speed mini mouse

    We just bought the ipad and when we play videos on vimeo or youtube they play at an ultra high speed like the fps is messed up - it sounds like a record being played too fast
    Is this our ipad or a setting - we are worried because we do not see the problem listed anywhere else.
    Thanks!

    Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

  • Microsoft 2000 OS, all videos playing too fast, what to do?

    Have MS 2000 Professional OS
    All online streaming videos (like youtube) playing too fast, extremely annoying rushing "chipmunk" effect.

    Word is getting around on the internet that Apple has basically stopped monitoring and moderating these forums. Expect to see this sort of thing increasing. If Apple isn't going to keep a lid on trolling like this then they had better just shut the forums down. It won't take long for these forums to be totally overrun by Mac bashers, trolls, and Windows fanboys. There's something about the Mac that scares them and makes them feel insecure.

  • K72NG-ILSR media plays too fast / garbled sound

    Using both Windows Media Player and Winamp. Both video and audio playback is too fast in both programs. The video skips frames and the audio skips and sounds garbled. However, when I play sound through Windows Sound Recorder, it is OK. Playback is also OK using WinDVD player. I was directed by MSI support to download the latest group of drivers, entitled "Nvidia nForce2 System Driver" at http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1 . Will one of you guys with a similar setup please go to Device Manager and tell me what version of audio driver & Codec driver is the latest for the onboard sound? I'm not sure this is the problem, but it is a good place to start.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Sorry about this, I saw later in your signature you are running Windows 98.I tried to edit my reply, but to no avail. For some reason, I can't edit.The boards will not let me.Anyway, try to remove Winamp anyway and see what happens with the Media Player.By any chance you have Windows Media 9? That is another thread in itself!

  • FLV inserted to page no probs but plays too fast!

    I've used the Insert Flash Video feature on dreamweaver 8 to
    add a video clip to one of my family web pages
    www.nzgreens.me.uk/house
    It has up loaded and plays, but is far too fast.
    We've moved to New Zealand and it's for our family and
    friends in the UK to view. Please please please can someone tell me
    why it would be playing too fast?

    I think you should give it ago, the Flash Encoder is straight
    forward
    from what I remember.

  • How can I fix corrupted audiobooks category--plays too fast and is gravelly?

    How can I fix corrupted audiobooks category--plays too fast and is gravelly? Other music categories are unaffected..

    On the audio book (and podcast) playing screen there is a playback speed selector. It is the box on the right hand side of the screen right below the scrubber bar. It say either 1/2X, 1X or 2X, the playback speeds. Tap the box to cycle through the playback speeds.

  • My podcasts play too fast in my iphone

    I did not had a problem before but now with the same podcasts I use to listen to they play too fast. You can still understand them but it is not pleasant at all. Does anyone has the same problem and was able to solve it?

    It's likely you accidentally touched the button that speeds up playback to 1.5x.

  • Audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    While I don't listen to audiobooks on myh iPad, the following might apply in your case:
    When you navigate to the player controls in the iPod app, in older OS's, and perhaps still in the Music app in iOS 5, you will see a variable speed control on the right hand side of the scrubber bar. Sequential taps on that change the speeds.
    This does appear in spoken content only, I think, as I see it in podcasts all the time. It's not there for video or music content, so I'd expect it to appear for Audiobooks as well.

  • Webcam Live Pro! Computer crashing driver problem

    I have had the Webcam Live Pro! for a few months running on a Windows XP Home Emachines with a .8 ghz AMD processor. The driver that comes with the CD out of the box has a conflict that causes the entire computer to shut down and reboot (or sometimes to freeze) when using third-party software, such as an instant messenger. I originally called the Creative Techs about this, and they told me that there was no problem with the driver. But a month later, a new driver was posted on their web site that claimed to fix this exact problem. I uninstalled the old driver and installed the new driver. But the problem came back even with the new driver. The only handle I can get on it is that the problem tends to re-appear after using the camera for a number of days. That is, the shutdown/freeze problem goes away when I uninstall the driver and then re-install the driver. But then a few days of use (one hour a day, typically) causes the problem to reappear. Then the problem re-occurs every few minutes until I uninstall the driver and re-install the driver. After that I can use the camera for a few hours before the crash problem returns.
    I am using this camera on a machine that I use for nothing more than video conferencing. No games or junk. I do not even do word processing on this computer. The computer crashes only when using the Creative Webcam Live Pro! I wish they would really fix this driver. I would pay double for this camera if it worked well. As it is now, I am researching other cameras.

    If your windows XP machine reboots?while using Capture or when you are using Skype video calling of Yahoo video calling, try using a USB port that plugs directly into you mother board. Also make sure it is a USB2 port and not a USB port. I had the camera plugged into a USB card that I added to my computer and it caused it to reboot after using the camera for a short time. If the problem persists, remove the program and reinstall making sure the camera is not connected to your computer until the software tells you to hook it up.

  • Webcam Live Pro causes system crash with Windows XP Home

    Ever since installing Webcam Live Pro I have been having random system restarts. This ONLY happens when the webcam is being used. It happens when using the Creative Webcam Center or another application. Sometimes the restart will happen after a few minutes, and other times an hour or more. I am running Windows XP sp2 with all patches, and there are no driver conflicts listed in Device Manager. I have the cam set at 60 hz.
    Even though there are no listed driver conflicts in Device Manager, there clearly is a driver conflict that occurs from time to time. I have read of other people having this same problem on this forum with Webcam Live Pro. I am using the driver ...0 which is dated 0//2004, and the automatic update program on this web site says that I am using the latest driver. But in the download section of this web site, the latest driver is listed as .0.0.0 and dated November 9, 2004. The driver numbers or dates do not match, and the driver on the web seems to have an earlier number but a later date!?
    Does anyone (especially a Creative tech support person who may be reading this post) have any idea what to do? The driver version is one issue. But the big issue is the system crashes.

    Solution! I discovered the problem causing the system crash, and I think it is sufficiently interesting to note here so that others may benefit from what I discovered. First, there is no fundamental problem/conflict with the driver for Webcam Live Pro. The trouble in my instance is that I was running another program that utilized the web cam, and that program conflicted with the Webcam Live Pro program that was constantly running in the system tray. Basically, the program in the system tray is loaded with the set-up for Webcam Live Pro. It constantly monitors the computer system to see if the cam is connected to the computer. When it does this while another program is using the cam, the conflict occurs, causing the entire computer to reboot. The solution is to right mouse click the icon for Webcam Live Pro in the system tray, go to settings, and to remove the check that allows the program to check for the presence of the web cam. Just to be safe, I then also exited the Webcam Live Pro program from the system tray so that nothing from that program could interfere with my use of the webcam using another program.
    The result is that the webcam is rock solid, with no system crashes. I have been running it nonstop for hours without a problem.
    I hope this helps someone else.

  • Photoshop video tutorials are too fast

    The videos are all too fast. Why don't you offer email tutorials with step by step instructions on how to use Photoshop? Then we can work at our own pace.

    There are some great sources for step-by-step Photoshop tutorials. One of them is psdtuts+, create a photo realistic digital painting in photoshop.
    Peachpit Press also offers some great books on Photoshop that offer step-by-step tutorials as well.
    Digital Arts Online also offers some great step by step tutorials.
    These are all are in addition to Photoshop.com and AdobeTV. When I follow a tutorial, I often watch a step, pause, then complete the step on my own computer. this way, I don't miss a step!

  • Bounced tracks play too fast in iTunes

    This is a continuation of an old thread that was never resolved:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=853393
    Basically, nothing has changed. I can bounce my tracks from Logic, and they play fine everywhere except iTunes, where they play too fast. I can play them on my iPod in the car and everything works at normal speed.
    All my iTunes tracks (including the ones bounced from Logic) share the following characteristics:
    192 kbps
    44.1 kHz
    Profile: Low Complexity
    However, the Logic tracks play fast, whereas everything else plays normally.
    I have a standard G5 sound card, not a 3rd party one.
    I'm about to conclude that this is a standard limitation with Logic, that tracks created there cannot be listened to at regular speed in iTunes. Is that a known issue? Is this limitation by design?

    Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, that is the problem I'm having, and it's so weird, I thought maybe there was some wacky glitch in the program. Logic is not without its bizarre idiosyncrasies, as you've probably noticed yourself.
    Check this out for bizarre: I've bounced these tunes down to my iPod, where I can listen to them over headphones, in my car, etc, with the tracks playing at the right speed. However, if I plug that same ipod into my home stereo in the living room (where the laptop is also plugged in), and play those same tracks, they play too fast. I know, it doesn't make sense. But I'm not imagining it. It's completely crazy.
    In Audio Midi Setup my audio output is set for 44.1khz.
    Anyhow, the problem is less consistent these days. That is, sometimes I can bounce a track down and it plays right. Othertimes, not. I still haven't found the common denominator to this problem, but if I discover anything, I'll post it here.
