Webcam Feedback Needed |
|
|
Hi group,
I've been messing around with the settings in Windows Media Encoder, and I'd
really appreciate some comments.
Good, bad, or in-between. :-)
What I'd really like to know is;
Did you have any trouble connecting?
Does the stream looks close to "real-time"?
Is the color OK?
Is the image quality OK? (Remember you're looking through the side of a fish
tank.)
What "bit rate" is being reported by the info-bar underneath the cam?
http://www.crampy.com/webcam.htm
Feel free to use the email link on the page, or post back here with your
comments. Either way works for me.
TIA,
Thom |

Hmmm. Perhaps I over-tweaked. :-) Are you on a dial-up connection?
I've made further adjustments. Hope you'll try again.
Thanks for the reply,

Nope.

Very much so. No choppies at all.
Is the color OK?
Very nice as well.
Is the image quality OK? (Remember you're looking through the side of

Looks good... more like video from a camcorder than a cheap webcam.
What "bit rate" is being reported by the info-bar underneath the cam?
55k/sec |
Kinda makes me wanna stream on my cam page now. :) I'm just nervous
about leaving ports open on the firewall.

Thanks for the reply.
And I don't worry about the open port. There isn't a darn thing on this
machine worth stealing. Excepting the bandwidth, of course. :-) |

Thom,
It's looking good @ 29.3 fps and 65 Kbps in the HTTP protocol. It even looks
good in full screen mode!
(I'm on a 8Mbit line)
All I need now is some sound and I'll have my own fish tank :-)
I would not do anymore tweaking on that stream. What you could do now is
start adding one for some slower connections.
Keep up the good work!
Noël

Ya know? I can DO that! The only thing stopping me is that you might hear
me swearing as I try to set it up properly. :-)

65k actual 67k
29 fps actual 15
loads and runs fast enough
now you need to house break those fish and make them polish up that water
with a diatom filter
