No it was compressed and I used the 3264x2448 (8MP)* thing in the logitech-software

Adjust the exposure and gain, also, how many lights do you use? You'll get better picture with better lighting.

Any video that is 3264x2448 even compressed is going to be MASSIVE.  The highest res video format I know of it 1920x1080, and that's huge.  DVDs are only 720x480.  I shoot all my stuff at 1600x1200, but then resize down to 856x480 (square pixel equivalent to DVD 720x480).  So if I were you I'd shoot all future animation at a much smaller res.  To salvage what you did, either resize you frames or your video down to 480 height.  The best way I know to resize either a sequence of images an AVI video file is to you a free app called VirtualDub.

One more thing, if you have a QCPro 9000, I think the highest res you can really achieve is 1600x1200.  Anything above that is just the software making the image bigger but with no real better resolution.

Ok, BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG PROBLEM: I plugged in the logitech camera, and then it said to either close the program or wait for it to respond, but when I hit close the program and it closed, I couldn't open it up again in the small thingy at the bottom right of the screen with all the really tiny items. When I tried to install it again, it said it's still on there and it can't reinstall it. But when I open up a frame capture program, the bar thingy dosen't come up on the side, so I have no control over it whatsoever, and it's kinda making me a bit mad right now!

Help?

Did every single icon for your editing program dissapear once it stopped working?

According to Microsoft, yes.

Have you tried setting the White Balance to Manual and then adjusting to get colors you like?

Also, maybe your gain is too high, which could make the colors seem to glow and look blurry as a result.

We know this has been mentioned before, but how do you get Monkey Jam to film in widescreen with the quickcam 9000. We've heard it said before that it automatically films in widescreen, but when we opened Monkey Jam with it, it was still a square screen.  How do you make it widescreen?

Yeah, filming in widescreen with the 9000 isn't possible with MonkeyJam. You could, however, cut off the top and bottom after animating in VirtualDub or something like that.
