Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
Is this an encoder maladjustment or his slow ass internet? I use the same laptop, cam, and streamate encoder settings but my cam seems to pixilate now and then when I cam at his house but never at mine. Oddly enough, I make more per hour at his house so if this goes unresolved Im still winning ; ) But of course I want to look great all the time!

If everything you're using is the same, I would imagine he has shitty internet. x
Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
I figured it might be his internet which I cant do much about but he does have some crappy service. He has called support and they give him some bullshit line about bandwidth and they cant do anything about it. Like I said I bank better at his house somehow so I wont complain.

It's such a coincidence that You started this thread, because I was going to comment on similar~I make soooooo much more when I cam in a room with crappy lighting, no HD, very little makeup.
I've tried this experiment numerous times, but the true test was on Saturday, (the day that I dread going on because it's when all the weirdos seem to come on the sites I work on.) Not only did I make more $$$, I even had one guy just keep tipping to talk,(without my even having to ask him). I'm talking 5-20 dollars at a time! :D
I was in back to back prvts, so, I dunno, maybe I should only cam in that situation from now on, and forget about all the extras I do to have everything perfect for my camming space!
Plus, it's a built-in laptop cam, no encoder,etc. I used to cam with this computer when I first started camming, and even though custies remarked right away when I got my new laptop with HD, and how clear it was, and how pretty I am, blah, blah, blah, they STILL take longer to take me prvt.
I looked at my earnings from when I only had a crappy cam, (which was only until 6 months ago), and they were higher than they are now! /:O
I've read and re-read threads on here about lighting tips, decor, etc., but for me, it's been the opposite.
oh well, ...If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there is no rhyme or reason in the camming world, right?

I see this on Adultwork too, where girls have the option to show live thumbnail photos from during their group shows (pic changes every 10 seconds or so). There's girls charging extortionate prices, with shitty inbuilt cams, sitting in the dark, fully dressed, miserable expressions and typing. WTF.
Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
^^^ EXACTLY! It's like WTF did I buy this new Quad core Hd computer, extra LIGHTS,wigs, new makeup, outfits etc. for??
Too strange.
Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
If yall make more money with crap lighting etc it's because men are fucking stupid (especially the vanilla ones LOL) and use the most retarded logic to decide whether they think a girl is "real" or not. They might think the girl is more "real" if she doesn't look too "professional" but I'm thinking a lot of them also assume the less pro-looking girls are also newer and easier to take advantage of. Predator behavior.
What they SHOULD be thinking is that if a girl is investing time and money into her cam business she is probably MORE into it than the cheap girls who don't bother. Duh. But we all know men are idiots and that's why we will always make the money off them and they will ALWAYS have to pay for sexual gratification. HAHAHAHA ;D
Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
Ive even considering turning off one of the lights in my room just to make it darker but never could actually do it lol! I dont want all my custys asking why my room is so dark now. Ive seen so many girls with bad lighting bank that the good camming rule about lighting seems a bit flexible.
Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
Yep. Still a mystery. Cammed yesterday with my better computer, lighting, etc., and just barely made my daily goal. Had to keep logging in and out out of sheer boredom.
I also have an asus, which is the one I banked with when I started camming~built in cam, no hd. I guess I could always use it, but it's a netbook, and the screen is only 10 inches, versus my awesome new computer which is 17 inches.
Oh well, i guess I have to do what works.
As far as the theory that guys want to see a 'real' girl, I'm not sure that's the reason in my case,because even my regulars tend to go prvt. when i'm on my old computer, versus just popping in to free chat and never going prvt. when i'm using my new comp.
Another observation, is that when I first started camming, and thought I had to put in 8 hours per day like my past corporate job, I did the following...
I would turn my cam on as soon as I awoke, coffee in hand, and would only show from my nose down to top of my chest, not talk or even type, because i didn't have any makeup on yet, and hate to talk in the quiet of the mornings. It was Prvt, after prvt. Since I need a good 2 hours to fully wake up, It was surprising to me looking back as to how much I could get away with, where now, the guys want to see face, talk, turn, blah...
Oh well, I guess there is a formula for everything,right?
*Sidebar~ regarding being real looking, irl that always seems to be the case. Had a dead car battery the other day, and when the AAA guy came, he started hitting on me~and asked me out! Huh??? I had no makeup on, was wearing my 'pregnancy pants' which i always buy because they are so comfortable, big winter coat so you couldn't even tell if I had boobs. When he was leaning over my hood of the car, I was thinking how hot he was, but...No~not going to go there. Well,maybe on a slow day..lol!! That kind of thing happens all the time, and even though people treat me better when I leave the house in camming attire, and hair and makeup done, it's baffling why a guy would even look at me when i'm natural looking.
Good Luck Ladies,

Re: Cam works great at my place but pixily at bfs?
^^ I mentioned the size of my screen, because it's easier for ME to look at. Especially when I'm turned around and have to read small writung.
My banking days with my old computer go back over 2 years ago, so it's not thet the guys are on vacation.
The fact that they are on old operating systems makes the most sense though.Thanks
