Class : Beta Tester Posts : 50 Registered on : 04/01/2008 Off line	With FreeTrack 2.2.0.279 my webcam records on average at 14fps, but it used to capture at 28-30fps. The drop in performance happened during the iteration of FT2.2 Beta (I was a beta tester). At the time I suspected that my system and/or webcam driver were responsible and needed re-install. I have now a fresh XP Home SP3 and driver install and still my webcam is averaging 14fps. Anyone has observed a drop in webcam performance for no apparent reason? At some point I'll buy my own Wii remote but for the time being I need to make the most of my EZ Cam IV (by Ezonics). Thank you in advance for your suggestions and comments. Donat-Pierre Luigi

Similarly, the auto-exposure is off, ... I used FT for a while so I am familiar with the recommendation described in the FAQ, which is why this puzzling... Thanks for the suggestion. Donat
