Webcam Advisor
Webcams can be used to record video direct to your PC hard drive and some programs like
Active webcam and CoffeeCup Webcam let you record on the remote PC as well. You just
follow the instructions with your software and the program produces a recording with the
frame rate and quality you want. Whats Frame Rate???? Its the number of pictures that are
recorded and therefore played back per second. The higher the frame rate, the more like
realtime the video is and of course the more drive space is taken up. Frame rate is also an
important factor in streaming video as you will see when you visit that section.
Using Webcams To Record Video and Sound
Video Recordings
I hope this site is usefull to you and i am sure you will have great fun and lots of enjoyment in the wonderfull world of WEBCAMS.
There are other programs which let you use your webcam to produce videos. One
such program is made by the same people who make CoffeCup Webcam. and its
called CoffeeCup Web Video Player. This lets you record your clips direct to the
program and it then produces all the necessary code for you and uploads it to your
site. Its great for putting recorded sound and video on your site especially for
entertainment. I have included samples here recorded from all the reviewed software
Willing Webcam also has an advanced AVI saving feature providing top quality
recorded video and sound. It also has a time lapse recording mode so you only
save a selected number of frames a second. This is really usefull to save on disk
space as you may not need real time recording for......say a car park. You may be
happy with 3 frames a second or so which would give a massive space saving over
say a 30 frame per second video.
and used CoffeeCup Web Video Player to upload using one of the many TV skins supplied with
the program. Resolutions vary to show you the differences in recording quality and you select
the video you want from the list with the playlist button.
All the programs reviewed on this
site also have the facility to record
live video in various file formats. A
selection of them are demonstrated
below.
Get them from our Supplier Section.
