Topic: Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000/ WMM problem.

When I make a video and render it in MonkeyJam the color is perfect and just the way I want it. But when I compress
it in WMM (by publishing it) it turns completely different. The color goes darker and brown goes browner etc...
Whats up with it. Am I publishing it wrong?
Compare this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II4K23kVkNI with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ8vWnbQ … re=related
We use the exact same camera!
Cheers.
Please help.:(

Could you post a couple of pictures comparing your MonkeyJam output to your WMM output? This would be quite handy. It sounds like some compression is giving you issues, but I can't tell for sure.

Sure. They'll be up in a few hours because I'm not at home.

Re: Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000/ WMM problem.

This happened to me when I used to use WMM. After you edit it in WMM, don't publish as 'Best Quality for Playback on my Computer'. Instead, use the second option below it and up the KB a little and it should come out better quality. If you still need it to be compressed after that, 'MPEGStreamclip' does a great job of compressing and keeping the quality and it supports H.264.

Hope that helps. mini/wink

I think virtualdub is a free editing program and probably better then WMM, I never used it before but you could try it out mini/smile

Re: Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000/ WMM problem.

when you export it, below the option "best option for my computer" or whatever it says, it says "more options. Click that, and go to other. Then, click the drop-down menu, and choose the "DV-NTSC"option. Hope this helps.

I can only export as DV-PAL. Another Vista flaw. mini/wink

No. In different country's the options are different. mini/sad

Re: Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000/ WMM problem.

Er... Vista flaw? PAL is a region format. As is NTSC.

Oh. That's because DV-PAL is the standard for a lot of countries. But why it only does DV-PAL, IDK. Americans can choose (lol, AMERICANS)

Vegas askes me for Europe/Asia or America/Japan. Now looking at it, I wonder why they put Japan separate from Asia.

I don't know. Maybe because Japan is more modern. Are you in Europe?
