Controlling the resolution of a Logitech webcam in Messenger?
Hi
As I posted in a post earlier (it's at the bottom of this mail) I'm having trouble with MSN and my Logitech QuickCam Messenger. The trouble is that I can't choose resolution for my Webcam in MSN Messenger, with the result being that MSN tries to push too much data over my internet connection (45kbytes/s) Sending a mail to Logitech didn't help, since they said things work ok 'in their programs' so this was clearly a MSN Messenger problem... Since a lot of other people here use Logitech WebCams, how do you get past the problem? Or do you all have 512kbit/s (upstream) connections or faster? Regards Erlend Stromsvik __________________________________________________ _______________ Hi I just got a Logitech Quickcam Messenger. It supports video at 640x480, 320x200 and 160x100. In Logitech ImageStudio (a program which comes with the webcam) I can choose between the different resolutions, but..... In MSN Messenger I can't. The result being that when using the webcam over internet and not just on the intranet network, the videostream gets extremely choppy. I've installed Netlimiter to measure the bandwith used by MSN Messenger with the current setup and it's around 45kbytes/s, which is just WAY too much. Obviously MSN streams the data at a pretty high resolution. I would really like to be able to turn the resolution down to 160x100 so to dramatically decrease the bandwidth usage. 45kbytes/s is just whack and 'over the top'. Anyone else with a Logitech Quickcam who knows if there are anything I could do? Any tips/help appreciated. Just for reference, you would need a broadband connection with 512kbit/s upstream just to support this kind of bandwith usage (do to overhead on the upstream channel) Regards Erlend Stromsvik |

What if you reduced your screen resolution from 32 bit color to 16 bit?
