will it record 720p in 30fps with the logitech software?

the logitech s/w has no options to change encoding just what resolution and where to save it.

seems directshow interface will allow 30fps for 720p and lower but anything above that only 15fps.

I guess you should just stick to 720p then, not worth having a jerky blurry 15fps.

I hope Ocuk edit the description to show what fps customers will get.

shame the camera on leds spoil things.

On the 9000 there's an option to disable the LED when active, I'm sure there's gotta be some kind of similar setting?

Shame about the 15fps, would have been interested.

Fair question, have you examined an output file from the logitech software, i know you said it was not as good, but do you remember checking the fps of the output file ?

this maybe something that will be updated in the future in the direct show interface/drivers

720p large

wow the 720p optimised is a really low bit rate !

looks like 720p is the best option then, via the directshow stuff in Vdub ......

to be honest, 1080p can be too heavy for a number of pc's so 720 is probably the best real world res to use. not to mention the serious increase in file size on 1080p
