I'm capturing with an iomega buz. I'm capturing at dropframe rate (29.9fps), at decimation 2.... when I bump it up to decimation 1 (full frame capture) then things start going south. Some stupid math ( 30fps * 720w * 480h * 24bpp * ( 1B / 8b ) ) gives me 38MBs with no compression. I'm using 40% jpeg compression which should cut that down by way more than half. Bottom line, maybe its the drivers. I'd try it in windows, but I don't have an extra box right now. Thats why I'm trolling for tips. -- jjlupa@jamdata.net GPG public key available from http://lupavista.jamdata.net/gpg.asc ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lament 1750: "If I only had a radioactive decay source and a fast free-running oscillator..."
