Hi everybody!
Just purchased the A4Tech PK-130MG webcam.
Has done some tests on my Vista x64 with webcam options without removing of IR filter under Freetrack

Found the following played combinations:

1.  Res=640x480,  FPS=15, Jit=0 (driver says that 640x480 can be played on 30FPS, but freetrack shows 15)

2.  Res=352x288,  FPS=25, Jit=0

3.  Res=352x288,  FPS=30, Jit=5-7

4.  Res=352x288,  FPS=46, Jit=15

Which one is the better to be used with Freetrack?
Thanks!

Hi slako,

Just forget 640x480, I guess it'll need to much CPU resources.

now, let's have a peak to the FAQ...

What does the 'jitter' measurement mean?

Jitter counts the number of frames that deviate more than +/-15% of the average frame rate in a second. It indicates frame rate instability which can potentially cause a reduction in panning smoothness. If the deviation is small FreeTrack, when minimized, may be able to neutralise it, so a high jitter number does not necessarily mean there will be high jitter in the output.

High jitter can be caused by anti-flicker being enabled or equivalently, outdoors mode being disabled.



Then, better FPS are more important than jitters. Try choice 4 and if jitters cause problems, let's try choice 3 and then choice 2. But I think that 46 FPS and jitters=15 would be great ;) !

Have fun !
