    sup peeps. I just tried my camera for the first time using both lifeframe and a program called camtasia and I'm getting the same issue.

    When I start recording myself, then save it and play it on mpc and or mp, it doesn't play right. It shows nothing but a black video or a frozen video.

    How do I fix this? Not sure if its a codac thing but I currently have mpc + mpc 64 bit, fffdshow 64 bit, and coreavc installed.

    what's the video extension saved as?

    And google CCCP; if you can't play it with CCCP installed, you can't play it period.

    I've saved it as wmv and it did horrible. Then avi which did better but still horrible.

    as for cccp..... erm um, no thanks xD

    Since I normally don't have issues converting a video from something to wmv or from something to avi (and it plays just fine), I'm assuming its either too much delay on the programs (when I'm recording, it takes like .60 seconds to respond to movement), or those programs just aren't converting right or something.

    What other free programs are out there that allows you to record yourself?

    does anyone else with a g73-a1 have this issue? I think the camera is just too slow.

    I disabled mine. I don't use it, so why should it eat my precious resources? :)

    I tried two with LifeFrame saved as WMV files, no special settings:

    1)
    Video 320x240 30FPS 314Kbps
    Audio 32KHz Stereo 32Kbps

    2)
    Video 640x480 30FPS 314Kbps
    Audio 32KHz Stereo 32Kbps


    Both look and play back just fine. Works just like all my other USB cameras (I have a lot of them...I write video software).

    Make sure all the cheesy frames, emotions, and other filters are turned off :)
