Hi folks:
I am not quite sure if it's ok that I am placing this question here.
But here we go.
I dont have a webcam and actually I got a ccd and a tv card.
So basically I plug the ccd to composite-in of my tv card and let MSN captures the device. Which works fine when I was adjust the video in Audio/Video Tuning Wizard. The picture looks ok and smooth.
Theoretically, the picture this method procudes should be way better than any picture that USB 1.1 webcam shows.
However, when I got to Web Camera setting in MSN 6.1, the whole thing screwed. The quality still looks ok, but the picture delays like hell. It's like only 1 frame per second. At this point, I haven't started the conversation with anybody, so there shouldn't be any connection lag involves. And this problem only occurs in MSN.
When I tried Netmeeting that comes with Windows XP. It works fine. Or I use program like WINDVR, VirtualVCR, they all detect the device and show great picture and no delay at all.
I tried to make all software and drivers up-to-date.
Still screwed.
Here is my hardware:
Pentium3 600, 256MB memory, 17GB hard drive, 3DFX Voodoo3 3000, Upmost Good TV card, built-in sound card.
I guess there shouldn't be any hardware problem at all since it only not working on MSN.
Great thanks to any advises.
