Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
I finally decided to get a new cam and went for the 930 instead of the 920 (which I am now regretting) and the software is too basic. I can't even mirror the image. So I tried using SplitCam software with the encoder and it causes the encoder to SHUT DOWN! I'm not sure why but tried a few things to no avail. Sigh...
Anyway, I bought it on Amazon so exchanging would be a pain and the video quality is FAB so I'm trying to figure out which web cam splitter software with work with the cam AND the encoder. Tried to bypass the encoder and the quality isn't nearly as good. Trying not to get disappointed just yet. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance. :)

I would try Verysoft
http://very-soft.com/product/webcamsplitter
It's 20 bux but the quality is awesome. You can try a partially functional one before buying. I use it with the encoder and it works great.
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
Thanks, I will try the free version out and see how it goes. :) I really like to have the image mirrored and I'm so used to it, I'm super bothered by it on cam. LOL Hopefully this fixes it. I wish I got the 920 now. Also it appears to make me look thicker than my other cam. Wonder if it has something to do with the "wider field of view" the lens offers... Might have to return it! LOL

I'm on the phone with logitech. They should give me a freaking job as a product tester and adviser! LOL
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
what about manycam? that gives me a clearer picture than splitcam....but thats weird that either would make the encoder shut down, i never had that happen.
what order are u opening them in? i always do splitter then encoder
also i can vouch that the 920 makes u look thicker :)) i thought i had been getting fatter since i switched to it but i havent cuz i checked LOL. but its great for boobs ;)
i dont like it as much as the 920 personally....but i bought the 930....kept using the 920 and then my 920 broke midshift so i switched to it....and still do the same even tho i dont like how i look as much as on the 920 lol (but 9000 is my fav - just not widescreen :/ )

We do!! LOL They are SO clueless. I told them they should hire me as a tester! Just told them more about their cams than they know. Told them I've only had the c930 for 2 days and am livid about the blatant software mistakes that have cost me money since using that cam. All they had were excuses on why their software sucks! I won't be surprised if they offer me a job after the hour long rant I just went on.

Thanks for the input. Wasn't there a link to the old manycam download so you can remove the water mark without purchasing? Going to look now...
Also looking a little fatter on cam sucks. Especially since I busted my ass to lose 10lbs and now it looks like I gained it back. LOL Maybe I do want the 920. Or maybe the 9000. Ugh! The saga continues...
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
Might just go ahead and pick up the 920 since the 930 is already wasting too much of my time. Looks like Target has it on sale for $69.99... Effing Logitech!
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
I am so glad I discovered this thread. I am 2 days away from buying a new cam, and was totally gonna go the C930 route...but now I will do the c920 instead.
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
One thing to keep in mind is that the c930 has a variable frames-per-second feature which can cause issues with encoding as well as certain containers. Skype software at one point wasn't enabling the C930e internal H.264 encoder; this was causing my cam to basically turn on and off every few minutes.
It's too bad because the picture quality of the cam is great—the color balance is nice—and the lens is fast so I can get away with fewer watts in my camroom. I would definitely recommend a lot of digging in the Skype and Logitech forums before buying (and it's possible these issues are fixed and I am not aware of it) or at least hold on to your backup until you are sure it runs on your sites.
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
UPDATE: I bought the 920 and the BOTH have major issues with WINDOWS 8.1. Apparently Logitech's software ISN'T compatible!I created a new thread about this because Windows is offering a free upgrade and cam girls should WAIT until logitech puts out software for the 920. After 3 hours of techie work, I got the 920 controls to work by manually updating the drivers (instructions on logitech website), downloading the Logitech APP from the Windows APP store, and some other stuff. Honestly, I was messing with it for like 3 hours. This has cost me 2 cam shows this week (about $400-800)! The 930 is a TOTAL DISASTER with the software. When I tried to update the drivers and do the same thing I did with the 920, the 930's controls stopped working completely! Looks like I need to send that one back. PS- the 930 makes me look about 15lbs heavier than I do on the 920. So I guess that's my official review of the 930. Software is garbage and it makes you look thicker! Cam girls stay away!

I have Windows 7 and I'm not changing it any time soon since all my camming equipment etc works really well with it. Anyone have experience with the C930 on that? I'd love to get it to film super HD clips and things, but if the 920 is a better life choice for that then I'll get that rather.

But it still has minimal software to control the webcam. Windows 8 or not. It's hard to explain. But read reviews and it talks about the stripped down software. It's for all versions of windows 8. The regular Logitech software does NOT support the 930 on ANY platform. It also makes me look about 10 lbs heavier. If only they could combine the features of the 2 cams...
Re: Help with Logitech 930 webcam software WTF?!
^^ I am worried about the looking bigger part. I am curvy, but I have a huge weight complex at the moment and I will die if some dude calls me fat :( even if it isn't the case.
I will look at all the reviews etc :) thank you, this has been most helpful to me

If you are concerned about looking bigger, I'd get the 920. I did side by side comparison of the 2 cams and I look skinny on the 920 and 525 and thick on the 930. I have heard it's due to the WIDER field of view on the 930. PS- I'm pretty small and feel self conscious with the 930!
