Webcam windows media player

It really works.. I found instructions elsewhere which fill that gap, though VLC does not recognize either my built-in microphone or the one on my webcam. I can select them, but when I try to record it throws an error message.

Hi — Oddly, these steps worked the first time I attempted them, then did not work again — that is, the video capture part did not work. The active light on my MS Surface Tablet lit up, but no video — audio only. I retried multiple times. No idea what when awry. Choose instead PLAY. So, you loose some control over formatting and filename, but at least it can be done if the above steps for some unknown reason stop working as they did for me.

Thanks for the instructions. Is there a way to do that while recording? The videos are fine when I play them using VLC media player. But when I play them in a media player other than VLC there is no sound. Am I missing something? Thank you and apologies for wasting your time.

The file will be in the location that you browse to and save your file. Well, please forgive me if I raise a very long-standing problem under this head. For your understanding the computer is a Dell desktop with both XP and 8. Digicam output to Studio is as it always had been, ie OK. I do not have the tech terminology but taking Audio first it is being captured with some sort of echo, quite unuseable. The problem with the video may be caused by the same incompatibility — the picture is broken into largish blocks, within each of which are horizontal bars.

Surely after going on a dozen years someone has found the solution and posted the instructions for fixing it? Or do I walk away from this otherwise valuable programme and try and find something which does what this claims to do without hassle? Thank you. Really crappy and complicated way of recording.

I agree. But VLC is mainly a video player. The recording webcam feature is there for some reason but it is difficult to get to. Because VLC is not a dedicated webcam recording app. It is a multipurpose video player that offers the ability to record video from multiple sources. If you think the method is crappy then you are welcome to try and invent a better way to record. Of course to do that you will need to find a method that maintains the functionality that VLC already has and you will need to find a method that is simple and intuitive.

No one will thank you for removing functionality or for cluttering the GUI. Frankly, I do not believe you or anyone else can accomplish that task. Even if you fail miserably, you will still walk away from the attempt with a far better education than you have now. Because VLC is not just a video recorder. QR Scanner Plus Free.
