Newbie here with web cams and needs some help. I quickly realized that I needed something other than Vlounge to take AVIs for use in registax. But the Vlounge had all kinds of settings. Now I am using Virtual Dub, which I had heard and found recommendations for. It only seems to have a frame rate control. I can't see any other settings.

Is this okay? Also, if so, what is the correct frame rate. When I googled it, I found all kinds of recommendations but the one that seemed most reputable simply due to the reasoning was for 5fps. The righter indicated that with anything higher, the USB can't handle it, and the frames are then compressed.

What are the opinions out there. I suppose my next step is K3CCD.

Hi Kevin, what webcam do you have and which version of VDub did you download? Dan 8)
