Live video problems

I have been trying to get the live video overlay to work and have a couple problems. I am running win7 home with a dell xps laptop. If I use the built in web cam, the mission planner will slooooow down so much it is unuseable. The video will work but it has like a 6 sec delay and also slows down all displayed data. I have to click stop and wait like 2 minutes before it will catch up. Once the camera has stopped, everything works normal again. Looking at the system manager I am only using a fraction of the processor.

I also have a Avermedia tv card with composit in and it dosnt work at all. I get an error message "Camera Fail: there is no match for the specified key in the index"

Any ideas?

    i may have found an answer to this one. i got a easycap for myself, and odly enough it did not work. so the next planner version should work with those other devices that are not working currently.

    you will need to add your capture device and then click on one of the pins and click render. and give me a screen shot.
    thats about the only way i can think of doing it.

  • I also have a problem and need help displaying video on the mission planner. It freezes when trying to connect to the webcam and displays "camera fail: Unexpected error" when trying to connect to a usb capture device.

    Both webcam and usb capture device work fine with HK GCS.

    The video trys playing at 15 fps. my guess is your laptop isnt fast enough.
