I have an i-Ball face2face 8.0 model webcam...

The problem is while recording videos,

even a 4 min video clipping is of 100MB large @176x144..

if i change the resolution to 640x480, then the size exceeds to 700MB to 1GB..:shock: (these values are while using the software that came bundled with the product)

I can record in two formats .avi and .wmv but both give the same result..



Help me to get ordinary result..

good, to hear that.. i think u have not installed any codec in u r system, thats why u r iball software is not showing other compression formats.

installed K-Lite codec pack but still no improvement with that proprietary s/w..

anyway thanks for suggestions dude.. :)
