Hi all,

I use VLC application with MPEG4 to record video using HP EliteBook 8560w webcam (HP HD Webcam [Fixed] or Microsoft webcam (Microsoft LifeCam Cinema). The output file quality is very good if I record with size of 640x480 (both cameras). If I change the size to 1280x720 then the output video is blurred, just first second of video can be seen clearly. The video can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBtXG-WY ... e=youtu.be or http://youtu.be/UBtXG-WY174). Could you please give me ideas?

Thanks,

Thuy

- This is sout:
":sout=#duplicate{dst='transcode{vcodec=fmp4,vb=1024,fps=20,scale=1}:standard{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\test.mp4}'}"

vcodec can be replaced by mp4v, divx, fmp4. The output video file quality is similar blurred.

- Full parameters:
":dshow-adev=none"
":dshow-vdev=Microsoft LifeCam Cinema"
":dshow-aspect-ratio=16\:9"
":live-caching=300"
":dshow-size=1280x720"
":sout=#duplicate{dst='transcode{vcodec=fmp4,vb=1024,fps=20,scale=1}:standard{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\test.mp4}'}"

The output file can be watched by Windows Media Player with a little better quality (still very blurred comparing to using lower resolution)
