    Default Choppy Webcam Video

    It's enraging me. My video feed is a-ok on most sites and my speedtest ranked an A- (which I'm assuming is pretty damn good, considering). Trying to use Yahoo for video (I never have) and my feed is choppy as hell! Does anyone have any advice? I'm using a Logitech 9000 on Windows Vista. Sorry if this is a super noob question but fiddling with my settings and searching google isn't working.

    What kind of computer do you have? What's the processor/CPU usage when you are camming?

    Yahoo cam sucks. You have to do a video call through yahoo then the video shouldn't be shoppy at all. Skype also has excellent video quality.

    Yes, the video calling feature worked just fine actually! Didn't mean to use it, but it served it's purpose anyway. ^_^

    But for the sake of answering the question posed before, the computer I use is an Asus gaming notebook and the processor is a Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz (had to look it up). The cpu usage when broadcasting via yahoo shifts between 0 and 6 percent.

    Think I'll just use the video call feature since that works with absolutely no lag. Thanks for your input ladies!

    For me video chat on yahoo sucks. I even warn my customers to not use it, if they don't want issues.
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.

    hmm. I really dont think the yahoo issue is you. I have similiar problems with that (just there and no where else). I suspect its a yahoo issue with cam only, maybe they use low bandwith to run it or something cause video call works fine but cam only- yuck

    720kbps upload might be your issue. It is a little low. 1mbps/1000kbps upload will generally provide you with a steady video stream. Can you call your ISP (cable or dsl provider?) and see if you can upgrade to a faster tier?

    I just read that you said that its the highest :/ If you check around make sure they quote you the upload speed. Does time warner offer a business package?
