Recording a video with a web cam

Post by Richard Durrer »

Since my video recorder is not working I have been experimenting with my WEB CAM in order to do a new UTUBE song. The webcam uses 640 x 480 resolution and is connected to my PC via USB. However, the audio either thru the webcam mic (very noisy) or thru the standard PC mic does not sinc up with my lips. (even during a test with no recording active). Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a normal webcam experience? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have solved half the puzzle. I turned off all audio hardware acceleration in the Control Panel and the delay now appears to be zero. Next step is to try it live and see how the results compare with the old broken digital video camera.
