My webcam is not getting the right ammount of frames per second.

This means that the total video clip will be 10 seconds long, at a rate of 30 individual frames per second. The end result will be 300 frames in total

It means that the video will last 10 seconds. 30 frames/sec is the quality of the video. It is the number of individual pictures take per second. Example: 10 frames/sec produces a jerky video but is sometimes used for security monitoring. On some cameras you can reduce the frames/sec to get a longer running time.

30 frames per second.

hope this helps

the frame per second is avarage 30 so first you need to check if the driver is instaled properly after that check the settings in what resolution is set 640x480 or other then test it, if there is no change set the resolution lower.

hi,
Some of the cheaper web cams are only capturing 15 frames per second (FPS) or less, whereas better web cams can capture 30 FPS and a larger picture too.Visit the website of the manufacturer of your webcam and see the details of that camera. It's possible you can increase the speed some through your camera settings. Look for your camera's icon in your Control Panel or in your Device Manager section and check your settings.just needed to change fps and the back lighting. <3

thank you for using fixya,rate my answer
vijay

that would be out of the design capabilities of that camera, me thinks. usual is 18 to 25 fps

For most webcams reducing the resolution allows a faster response and thus greater framerate to the captured video. The troubleshooting section at the website listed below should help you quite a bit.

Technical Specifications

• Quality CiF (352x288) CMOS webcam
• Video capture: 640x480 pixels (SW enhanced)
• Still image capture: 640x480 pixels (SW enhanced)
• Frame rate: Up to 30 frames per second (with recommended system)

By frame size and frame rate I think. The F828 (in highest quality mode) takes 30 frames per second (fps) at 640x480 pixels. In the US televisions display video at 30 FPS (actually it is 60 fps but only half the frame gets displayed at a time so it nets out to 30.) I'm not swure what dedicated camcorders do internally but I've run my F828 videos on my TV (27" non-HDTV) and they look great. I've got no interest in buying a dedicated camcorder. Things might be different if I had an HDTV.
