Using Video Blaster WebCam Control 2-5
Improving video
quality
If you choose to use a video compressor, you will have the option of adjusting the video
quality.
Bear in mind, however, that better video quality means a lower frame rate, and a higher frame
rate means poorer video quality.
For still images, opt for better video quality. For video recordings and videoconferencing,
select a higher frame rate.
Adjusting other
system components
The following will also help you to optimize the performance of your WebCam 3:
❑ Close all unnecessary applications.
❑ Before recording a video to an AVI file with Video Blaster WebCam Control, use the
Windows Disk Defragmenter application to defragment your hard disk drive.
❑ If your WebCam 3 is daisy-chained with another USB device to the USB port or if it shares
a USB hub with other devices, make sure that none of the other devices is active when you
are capturing video. The total bandwidth of the USB port on your PC is shared by all the
active USB devices, and operating WebCam 3 along with another USB device on the same
port can lower the maximum possible frame rate.
