[AG-TECH] Video freezing on the iSight

[Jason Bell]

G'day Paul

Thanks for your feedback.

Basically when my video freezes, it does so on the other machines in the
same venues as well.

The only thing they I can se that might be affecting it is that I am
running this on a low-end iMac and at times it is running at 0%
idle.....

Other than that, I have no idea what else could be causing it.

Thanks,
Jason.

We were having the same problem when running the beta version. 
Sometimes the video would freeze in the vic window but then I'd go 
over to another machine running ag and that machine was still 
receiving video from the other.  That was really wierd. Since 
installing the release version I have not seen the freezing video. I 
noticed that it seemed to freeze most when nothing was happening. 
Like I would leave my cubicle with the camera running and return in 
10 minutes and the video would have froze. When there was action, the 
video did not freeze as much.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We are running mac osx 10.3.8 on  powerpc G4 laptops.
