I recently started having issues with Logitech webcam software, so I was looking for alternative recording software. I've read through the forum that a number of you use AVS and I downloaded that to try.

I'm having a bit of a problem with it though... When I record it records me talking twice - me talking, and also what it is recording. There is a few seconds lag when recording which means I'll say something, then I'll hear that being played back, and then that gets recorded too. I hope that makes some sense! Like an echo. Secondly, there's the slight lag, which wouldn't matter I guess if the final product was fine. Thirdly, and another audio problem, it screeches! It's like a bad cam2cam session, where it just rises to a crescendo to where it sounds like cats dying.

I'm hoping that there's an obvious solution here or a setting that needs changed, that I'm going to kick myself for not realising.

If not can you recommend something else that gives a good picture which is free/reasonable with a free trial? I did like the Logitech software but it's being a nightmare lately.

Thank you xxx
