One-Click WebCam Recording!

Cheers I'll give it a shot, so how often does it check if its recording? Or if it stops it just starts again 3-4 seconds later is that correct?

I'll give it a whirl in the coming days and let you know the result

..it still gives an error when resuming from hibernation..(this program has encountered a problem....etc.)
and another problem..each time it restarts a new file..it comes to the surface even when it is embeded..!
it would be nice to be able to put it in the tray..
EDIT:
1 more thing

could you add the "seconds" as well in the file name..(cause if i stop recording and restart in less than a minute, it overwrites the last file)..thanks

@yorky: It starts 3-4 secs after it stops.

@Nomader: I'll add seconds. Hibernation will take a few days. Not sure what you mean about coming to the surface. Try it without preview?

thanks buddy..

Ok, download the new one and give it a try...

I couldn't get it to crash so I added a delay.

Curiosity,

So I downloaded your updated version and to my surprise it works nicely on my CarPC! The GPS overlay works great and is exactly what I was looking for!

Like Nomad though I have hibernation issues.. after resuming from hibernation it will not preview or record (grey or black screen). I am forced to restart the computer.. do you think this is a codec issue? (using Indeo 5.1)

also when going into hibernate if I do not hit stop on the recording I end up with a corrupt file and am forced to delete the folder it is contained in as it crashes windows explorer when trying to open.. is there any program attributes you can add for this to stop recording and then let windows go into hibernate?

Kudos again on the Menu interface.. still love the fullscreen preview and one touch operation to bring up the menu!

Restart the computer? Have you tried restarting MiniCam? Just making sure.

I'm using DivX 6.8.5 for video and PCM for audio. It stops before hibernating and should go grey just before going off, then starts a new file when it comes back up. None have been corrupt so far. A good way to delete one corrupt file is to open something like notepad, open file and go to that folder and delete the file from that open dialog. It doesn't have all the extras that load codecs.

haha, its all good. Yes I've tried restarting Minicam.. thats what makes me think its some sort of codec issue.. If I close Minicam then hibernate it works fine after resuming from hibernation.

I cant seem to get mine to work with Divx 6.8.5. Actually Indeo is the only one I can get it to work with so far. works flawlessly minus the hibernation issues. I may try reinstalling some codecs and see if I get any change.

Ill keep that notepad trick in mind, thanks!

Curiosity, the auto restart on stop appears to..... work a treat!

I can finally just power on the laptop, hit one button in the quicklaunch and never worry about it again

I used the minicam today going to work, didnt get any error but it seemed to have stopped at 6.6mb. I pulled up at work, and stopped the cam.

Checked the file, it was undersized. Im using Xvid, newest codec, set to portable profile and I set it to about 1050kb/s.
Maybe I should lower it to 900.

The resulting file unfortunately runs faster than normal, even though it is set to 30fps. I can easily fix it through Vdub, so it's no biggie.

It worked fine yesterday, dunno why it failed today. Ill try again tonight going home. I'm using a Sony PS3 Eye cam.

Thanks for this sweet app.
