I'd also suggest that if at all possible you try testing the camera on another PC - Sometimes these sort of bugs manifest on a single machine due to an odd set of circumstances which are very hard to determine.
#PS3 EYE CAM PC SFOTWARE CODE#
The old webcam code used a simpler way of setting up DirectShow than the current versions of SharpCap and might just behave differently. What I will suggest is that you should try installing an old version of SharpCap (version 1.5.X) and see if you get better results in that using the 'Direct Show (old code)' version of the camera in the Cameras menu. Playstation Eye is set to revolutionize the experience of both interactive gaming and online communication on the Playstation Network. When it mostly works but is glitchy - as in your case - it's very difficult to deal with When it fails completely you often get an error code from DirectShow and maybe you can work out why and fix it. DirectShow does all the talking to the webcam driver, grabbing frames, displaying them, saving them to AVI, etc. Well, it's kind of hard to say what's going to be the cause - with WebCams, SharpCap (and other capture software) doesn't actually have to do a great deal of the work itself - it just orders the DirectShow framework around - tells it which device to connect to, which window to show the preview to, which file to save to and lets DirectShow get on with it.
#PS3 EYE CAM PC SFOTWARE DRIVER#
I've installed the latest CL Eye driver and the preview in Sharpcap works fine. Could it be that the camera isn't saving the data as avi? I run a Quickcam 4000 on a very old laptop and don't have these problems. avi when I first tried to open it, so it would open in those players. It happens when I try to play the vids in Window Media Player or VLC. I've tried lower frame rates and resolutions and I have the same problem every time. From the factory, this device has pretty impressive specs, but no windows drivers.
#PS3 EYE CAM PC SFOTWARE PS3#
I'm using Sharpcap to record, but i have this problem on Craterlet as well. The NUI Group has been working hard to bring the PS3 Eye to windows.
The computer is an 8 core, 8gb DDR3 RAM, Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop so I would've thought it would handle it. This happens at 10fps which is quite low. The best way to explain it is the files appear very speeded up and don't last as long as originally recorded. I've done some test vids and when I've tried to play them back they're very choppy, like they're missing frames yet the right frame number appears in registax. I've not modded it yet, I'm just trying to get it working generally. I have been working on a driver for the PlayStation Eye Camera and the first beta release is now available on github Happily there were lots of open source projects out there that were of great help, including the PS3 Eye Linux driver. Hi, I have a Playstation 3 Eye webcam that I am testing for astro use. The Sony PlayStation Eye is a digital camera just like a webcam designed for Sony PlayStation 3.
