Webcam resolution issues

[performlabrit]

Hi Jeff,

It's clear that it's a driver issue. Unfortunately, Vizard is the only program we can find that seems to have this driver issue.

Can you offer any additional guidance? Workarounds? Has your team has success integrating other webcam modules with the Vizard pipeline?

The only solution I can come up with, to write a threaded module to save images to the harddrive to be used as textures. This would take several days work, if not a week or two.

Thanks,

I'll check with our developers and create a support ticket to follow up on this.

As a workaround, you could try running the feed through a virtual webcam. I have Manycam and Xsplit installed on my PC and Vizard recognizes them both as webcam devices, and they in turn may be a bit more flexible recognizing the full resolution of your source webcam.
You may need to look around a bit to find a good free virtual cam software without watermark though.
