I am using my DV cam with the 4 led had mount.

Res is 720x576 at 25fps and unfortunately there is no adjustment allowed.

I have tried MMX filter and I get "Division by Zero" error

The SE2 filter gives vertical lines



Also,
If I do get it going, how can I use Freetrack with DIRT ? Do I need to also load the TRACKIR software or will it just work ?

Off line Www

DIRT seems work natively with FreeTrack, you won't have to do anything else.

About the filters problem, I have no idea, sorry... : (

So you have no control over the camera properties, in particular resolution and compression? Freetrack only supports I420, RGB24 and RGB32 compression. The resolution is also high which will use a big portion of your cpu.

ok I bought the MS VX-1000 AUS$35.

It is a little laggy

I dont need the IR filter. It works but very difficult to get used to since I normally drive with external camera

Low Res and Hi Res all give about 8% to 13% CPU usage. I set it to 30fps but program only displays 20 fps.


But I will play around

Thanks,
John B

just bought me a $25 Logitech Quickcam IM
freetrack FPS averages >27 FPS.
although mine seems to have white pixels stuck when i use it as webcam (I'm returning it to the store and see weather it's a Quickam IM specific problem or not) but overall it tracks superbly in freetrack : D
