Strkaholic | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Totally stupid question...how do you get the Quad Cams..I havel looked everywhere. Thanks in advance` |
Wargod | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 05:13 pm     If you look at your realone player, you'll see the four feeds on the side. Underneath those is another button, says Big Brother 3, thats the button for the quad cam. Hope that helps. |

Wargod | Monday, August 05, 2002 - 06:38 pm     LOL, your welcome, Strk. I can't claim credit for it though, someone else posted about it a few days ago.....up until then I doing the single cam, and griping about having to go through all four to see what was going on! |
Mrbubble | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 02:22 pm     How come quad acm shows 4 different views, but on the individual feeds 1 and 2 are almost always the same? (I'm really not asking, I'm ranting) |
Ryn | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 08:54 am     Ok, I just got off the phone with Real Technical support because I wanted to know the same thing. "Julie" was really nice, but not any help ;) She said they (real) are aware of it, and everyone has the problem. She basically said its a CBS thing, so a "feedback" to them would be the only real option (and I laughed). Not a solution, but at least now you know REAL knows (and I assume CBS). |
Mrbubble | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:15 am     Thanks for calling Ryn. I never have the time to deal with those calls. |
Cwoody222 | Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 02:10 pm     Does anyone have the URL for the Quad cam? My Mac version of the player (OS X and OS 9) don't have working buttons on the right side of the picture. And my Win98 version never displays the buttons at all. |

The Hottest reality babe ever!!!!!!!!! |
Jesse | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 04:07 pm     I just noticed today that the BB Icon thay I clicked to get the Quad Cam, now says just that . . . "Quat Cam." . . . when did they change the logo to that name? |

Flyonthwall | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 10:24 pm     To save a pic from real one live feed cams You need a paint program where you can paste your screen cap to. Like Photo shop, paint shop pro...etc. Open your real player Click on the real player each time you want to screen cap because that "selects" that part of the screen, not the entire desk top. Just click anywhere on real player. On real player click on tools preferences hardware UNCHECK optimized video display close that box Use the Alt key (by the space bar) and the Print Screen/sysrq key (up by the F keys, by F12 Press Alt and Print screen at the same time This save what you have selected to the clipboard. Now open your photo or paint program somewhere on that program you will have a Paste command. Click on paste as a new image or paste whatever the program designates. Now you should see your screen cap on your paint program If you get your entire screen, then you need to remember to click on Real player one last time before you do a screen cap. Or you will get this:
Now cut out the image on your paint program you want to save. You can cut off the outside border using the crop tool Or the copy paste tool. now save your image as a JPG It is best to save as an optimized JPG Meaning it compresses the image to the smallest size possible with out distorting the image. It uses less bandwidth and thus helps the site. Generally a single saved image with out compression is 20kb compressed it is apprx. 6kb There are cruncher programs on line if you search for Compressed JPG If you can't compress then resize your image smaller to take up less bandwidth. resize it to 200x200 and test it on your paint program. if it's to small to make out details then enlarge it again. QUAD CAM: If you take a screen cap of quad cam you can still get the image out of a square by cutting only that image out. Just select the 'cell' or cam image and paste it then save it the same way It will be smaller then a reg screen cap of one screen. Looks like this:
To post your image in a thread just go to the format button at the top of the page and read it. It tells exactly how to do it. This goes for any kind of graphic or screen cap they all post the same way. Hope this helps! if you have any questions please email me and I'll do my best to help! my email is in my profile on left click on my name. I use paint shop pro 7 and use this method and it's easy and fast to do. Some use other programs which are discussed in the "screen cap" threads. There are several now. They all basically work the same way. JUST please be sure to minimize the total KB you upload so we don't use to much bandwidth from the site! Or they may have to stop us from adding pictures to our posts. Fly |
