Truncated clips

[Dave Brandman]

I have tried using MM2 to create clips from my Webcam. However,
within MM2, each clip seems to get truncated aroudn 10 - 13
seconds in.

Yet, if i play the same .wmv file from WMP, the full lenghth is
played.

Hi Dave,

I have some notes on the Digital Camcorders++ > WebCams page of my site. It
might be a file format issue.

Hi John,

Thanks, I will take a look through your site. Strange that it
would be a file format issue, though. The capture from the
webcam was made via MM2. MM2 does play the first 10 - 15
seconds perfectly. It's just those remaining minutes.

Hello Dave,

Are you running a memory optimiser? Some of them are known to screw up MM when
capturing. Its all to do with the memory space used as a buffer. As your
problem seems repeatable within the given time frame, it seems not unreasonable
to look for some other process. I can't remember where on my website, there are
further notes on my website about this.

Thanks - I'll take a look through your site. But no, I'm on a
Dell Dimension P4 with 512 MB of memory and no memory
optimizers.
