Why does photo booth stop recording video randomly

Im trying to record short videos using photobooth about 3 mins long.  but when i record.  more than half the time  it will say that it is recording the whole thing
but when i stop the recording, only about fraction of what i wanted will be there. 
Ex. i just recorded about 3m 30sec of video...and when i stopped it....only 32 seconds of video was recorded.....
Why is this happening?

  • Why does photo booth stop filming at a random time?

    I have 60 gigs available, so storage isn't an issue.
    I'll film a video, say, 5 minutes, and then when I click the stop button, the video will show up as 36 seconds, or 54 seconds. It will only record an arbitrary amount of the video, not the whole thing. Occasionally, it records the whole video. Other times, it randomly shuts off. What is the deal? I am about to toss my computer out a window!

  • ISight - Photo Booth stops recording silently when recording video.

    Hello,
    I often use iSight and Photo Booth to record videos, and I've observed this error happens all the times:
    For example I record a 5 minutes video, (I stop Photo Booth at the time 5:00), but then when I look again at the file, it's less than 5 minutes. This happens 8 out of 10 times of recording, and it stops silently at a random time, means photo booth does not return to the waiting mode until I press the stop button.
    Does anyone have this problem? Please help. Thanks in advance.

    I must agree I am having a very similar problem myself. In my case, for example, I use photobooth to record videos requiring audio and video (acoustic guitar) and I will record one video which will be fine with audio, but randomly, the next video I record will not have any audio whatsoever, just a video of me playing my guitar. I'm sure other people with this problem know how frustrating it is, especially since I just tried to record an instrumental piece about 13 minutes only to find that photobooth randomly decided not to record audio this time....is there any solution for this?

  • Why Does My Camera Stop Recording in the Middle of a Video??

    Why does my Rebel T3i stop recording in the middle of me video taping?? Is it because I do not have enough space on my camera for a video? It lets me take plenty more pictures. And when it stops in the middle of a recording, I start recording again, and it works for a little while then stops again! I really don't get it. It is extremely frustrating because I am left with all these chopped up video segments and I completely miss something that my baby is doing (the reason I started taping in the first place!) I am begining to wonder if I should just invest in a video camera instead of taping with my camera. I would REALLY prefer not to, seeing as how I spent a fortune on it, and would like it to do what it is intended to do! Can someone please help?? 

    The camera formats the memory card using the "FAT32" filesystem rather than a proprietary filesystem.  This allows the card to be read by nearly any computer (Windows, Mac, etc.)  
    HOWEVER... there's a limitation in that filesystem that no single file can grow above a specific size.  That size is 4GB.
    Also, the camera documentation describes that the camera will stop just 1 second short of the 30 minute mark regardless of the file size.  
    In pro video, movies are normally constructed by bringing together many very short clips.  The one-long-continuous-take video style isn't used.  If you are attempting to record a long event in one-long-continuous-take then it would be better to use a video camera for the task.

  • Why does Photo Booth provide 'mirror' images?

    I took a number of pictures of my friends with Photo Booth and realised that something was wrong. When I looked closer I noticed that all the photos had been reversed and were in fact mirror images of the actual person. Why is this? I had to use the "Flip Photo" command to make them normal. I would suppose this is how the original iSight works as well although I have never tried it.
    Then I noticed that there is an "Auto flip all photos" command, which of course is what I choose. But it is beyond me why this is not the default in the first place.
    When you use a camera with a timer on it to take your picture, it does not give you a mirror image, it provides you with the true image. iSight should also IMHO.
    Griff

    It's because it's more natural for people to see themselves in a mirror while getting ready for the picture. Thus if they lift their right hand the hand on the right side of the screen would appear to rise. If the picture suddenly flipped after taking the picture, this could be confusing, which is why it isn't the default, but simply an option.

  • Why does my nano stop recording my workout?

    The past two nights, my nano has stopped recording my workout before I finish my treadmill exercise.  The first night the nano had paused the workout recording and was waiting for me to pick music.  The second night the nano actually just stopped recording the workout, just like as if I had hit the end workout button.  The nano is in my shorts pocket and I know without a doubt that I am not accidentally causing this.  Has anybody else experienced this type of problem?

    Hi newz4,
    If you are having issues with your iPad not continuing to record video even with sufficient space available, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does photo booth do this?

    You can enhace your knowledge by checking out the many video and PDF tutorials at the Adobe Support centre here:

  • Photo Booth has stopped recording Videos all of a sudden??

    Hi all,
    on my iMac only 6 months old, all of a sudden after working fine Photo Booth today has decided to stop recording videos.
    The app launches, green light comes on and the picture/video shows, i press record and it counts down but the counter doesnt move although the picture is still there.
    Press stop and it loads a black screen and plonks it in the library thing at the bottom of the picture..  Very odd.
    I have trashed the Preferences and this does nothing,
    Have deleted the other videos so its not a space issue?
    Wondering if anyone else has the same thing???
    Any help greatly accepted,,
    Many thanks

    Does anyone know where you can get a version of Photobooth? I didnt have any disks of the OSX lion that shipped with my iMac?

  • Photo booth only records partial Video no matter how long it is...Help!!

    ok so i wanted to make a funny video to send to my friend. I turned on Photo booth, chose the video option, and hit record. I proceeded to completely embarrass myself on camera for about 5 mins, and i clicked stop. When it stopped, only like the 1st 18 secs were recorded. I thought maybe i clicked stop on accident, so i tried it again, and it was the same problem.. is anyone else having this problem? if so is there a solution for it? please help...thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, C Dot MooDy
    is anyone else having this problem?
    I have not seen any specific post of exactly your problem, but a few users have posted questions about how long Photo Booth can record, so they might be asking about a similar issue.
    For instance, a search of iSight discussions about known Photo Booth recording time limit:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450644&tstart=50
    if so is there a solution for it?
    For a solution, consider the same suggestions I offered in the topic linked above:
    (1) Be sure you are keeping Photo Booth (PB) as the foreground app; i.e., you can always see "Photo Booth" by the  in the upper left corner of your display. Don't click on the desktop or any other open window while recording. Recording stops on my Mac if PB is not the active app.
    (2) Other things that might be contributing to your problem:
    • Don't let your Mac go to sleep or allow its screen saver to work while you are recording.
    • Check and, if necessary, modify settings of background apps that might be interrupting your Mac during your PB movie recording. Examples would include Mail checking for new email, iCal executing an alarm, your Software Update... performing its scheduled check for software updates.
    I do not know that one of those might be your problem, but if you can find no other cause, and if you must record long clips with PB, consider any of those ideas you think they might have an impact. 
    (3) Also consider these suggestions If your Macbook runs slowly or exhibits any other problems in addition to your PB issue.
    (4) If all else fails, you might try iMovie to see if it works better for recording longer movie clips on your Macbook. While not a one-click app like PB, iMovie HD can add Video FX (Effects) after you have recorded your clip. If you cannot get PB working, iMovie might be worth considering as an alternative.
    (5) If you would rather not use iMovie, perhaps a PB clone application like WebcamTweaker or Freak Show will work for what you want.
    Please let us know how it goes.

    First you have a 4G iPod. Yes there is some delay between tapping the stop button and the recording stopping.
