It depends on how much image quality you want to capture up front. On my system, running the newest DC10+ driver (0.9.something), capturing at 640x480 frame size, and a driver quality setting of 75, results in a sustained average of 7.5MB/s of data being written to disk. I only see data rates in the sub 3.5MB/s range for 320x480 frames, with a driver quality factor of 50, which gives about 2.5MB/s. Capturing full frame (well, a DC10+'s idea of full frame) and at a driver quality setting of 100 results in pretty much dead on a sustained average of 10-11MB/s of disk write bandwidth. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
