New webcam's arrived! Will set it up in the workshop shortly. :3 #BackToYouTube 11:49:21, 2013-05-09
Starting to regret this HD-5000 webcam purchase. Image is blurry, autofocus is twitchy and it cannot capture HD at more than 15fps. 13:06:13, 2013-05-09
Turns out there is actually no setting to allow the camera to even try recording above 10fps in HD format. Going to return this thing. 13:26:36, 2013-05-09
The *£2.50* XBOX WEBCAM I got from ebay records better than this. It can at least get to 30fps in VGA mode. 13:28:24, 2013-05-09
Recommendations on a cheap HD video camera or webcam would be appreciated. 17:23:06, 2013-05-09
@RugbyKitt Does it actually do that resolution at 30fps? The MS one won't do more than 10fps. in reply to RugbyKitt 17:37:29, 2013-05-09
@RugbyKitt I rather have a test if that's okay? Official specs have proven misleading so far. :/ Record a few seconds & check playback fps? in reply to RugbyKitt 17:40:25, 2013-05-09

Battery drill teardown for gearbox: http://t.co/7HVvxWEi2u via @YouTube 19:51:36, 2013-05-09
Despite it's impossibly low framerate, missing the mains-flicker compensation and mic on the MS cam. 19:55:15, 2013-05-09
Some additional checking hints that I may be able to get the lifecam up to 30fps. But only if I delete the provided software & drivers. 19:59:28, 2013-05-09
Microsoft's own forum says the software automatically limits the framerate & resolution to the lowest *reliable* settings. 20:00:06, 2013-05-09
So if the software thinks you'll occasionally drop to 10fps, 10fps is all you'll be allowed. 20:00:30, 2013-05-09
Deleted the lifecam software & reinstalled it as a generic USB video device. Under VirtualDub I just captured 1min at 720p & 30fps. 20:55:51, 2013-05-09
Also disabled the autofocus in the settings. It actually seems quite nice now. HD-5000 is a FAR better cam if you don't use the software. 20:56:32, 2013-05-09
A little partition-tweaking and I should have space for 14hrs of HD recording now. Whoop! 21:15:17, 2013-05-09
