Thanks Jan. And is everyone happy with the Quad cam showing the same thing on all four?

I was wondering about that too Saggki. They've only got two cameras working but both on the same scene. Cameras 1 & 4 are on Justin and cameras 2 & 3 are on Allison talking to each other. This is not what I paid for. Is everyone else in the house sleeping?

Katbee and Sag, that is a complaint every year. They always seem to just have only two locations shown on 4 cameras. Often they have all 4 cameras on one location. I think, it is rare to have them on more than 2 locations though.

UGH!! RealPlayer and the feeds are bugging me! I cannot see real video...just changing freeze frames...like others have posted. SIGH!

Thanks for letting me vent!

If you're having problems with RealPlayer, try downloading the latest version. It's now called RealOne Player, and I've not been having problems with it all. Crystal clear video, audio (albeit lots of boring convos)...

Also, if you haven't tried it yet, don't forget the now-oft-repeated suggestion: change the settings under TOOLS >> PREFERENCES >> HARDWARE >> VIDEO CARD COMPATIBILITY...

Many people report all their problems gone after moving the slider all the way over to "MOST RELIABLE"...

It might also be worth testing the PLAYBACK PERFORMANCE slider... Those who are getting too many freeze frames under "BEST QUALITY" might find that "LOWEST CPU USAGE" returns things to full video, of whatever quality...

I have my feeds on for over an hour- and NO TIMING OUT. WOW. I didn't do anything special.

They're probably not timing out cause they are afraid no one would come back Mwaaahhhhhhhhhh :)

Froggie, Are you still experiencing problems with the quad cam? I am, and it's worse than yesterday! Just wondering if anyone knows what the problem is?

My quad cam feed appears ok; it does that pixelation sometimes, but comes right back.

Last night I had some feed difficulties but it was my cable provider, not Real. (Doing other internet stuff was bad too.)

Perhaps your internet provider is having problems?

Not sure Wendo if it's the internet provider (AOL). I'm on the 14 day free trial and am too lazy to call and stay on hold right now. If it is still doing this when it comes time to pay..that's another story! Thanks for your input anyway.

Well, good luck Nathalia.

My video and sound ain't so hot today, and surfing is a b*tch. My cable ISP must be experiencing a slowdown. :(

Oh well, sh*t happens.

Remember the good old days when the audio on cam 3 was MUCH better than the other three........... sigh. You can't go home again. :)

Nathalia, I don't know about Froggie but if you're talking about four different sizes and shapes, that's what I still have.

Laisey..that is what I'm talking about! So frustrating! At least I'm not alone in my pain, lol

For those who've had the same problem - my quadcam is back to all four the same size. Dare I hope that it stays that way?

Mine is back to normal too, Laisey and Nathalia. Yippee! Realone better stay this way, or else!!!

all you having trouble with the Real picture..why not try BBLIVE? (link available in the tech thread)It does not use the Real boxes to show video

Nathalia

Froggie & Laisey, I woke up this morning to find my quadcam working. Yeah!!!! Must have been an East Coast thing.

Jan - I'd have to get the BF to get the BBLive feeds working for me. It's a little too technical for this brain to handle. I tried it the other day when my quad was all messed up, to no success. Right now my RealOne feeds are fine. If and When they go south again, I may have him set up BBLive for me. Thanks though!

Yay for you too, Nathalia! Maybe it was an east coast thing...who knows, who cares, our feeds are fixed!!!

Froggie and Nathalia, either of you in the mid-atlantic region? I'm in Virginia Beach VA. Maybe it's a regional thing because someone at Real has an ex in the area.

Froggie, setting up BBLive is EASY and YOU CAN DO IT! Unless you want to need the BF of course lol. Somewhere in these 5000 posts I posted simple directions. All you do is just one step at a time and it will be set up in about 5 min. If I were you I'd suggest doing it just so you can learn to do it and prove you can. :)

What is with the frozen frames. Cam do not follow anyone, mine just sits on one person and I can hear voices. I hate that!
