Stuck after writing 1st frame

#1

Post by Moorefam »

I have v4.08185 and have found very often that I set up to write say 30 files of various lengths 120 secs plus (I haven't tried less) and it gets stuck after the end of the first frame, which doesn't write, then I have to start again and usually the 2nd time round it will write my 30 files. 30 is just an example.
IT's a nuisance as with 300 sec files I have to stick around outdoors until I am sure it will continue writing and not give up at the start.

Hi,

sounds like it may be a camera related issue rather than an image writing issue. Sometimes cameras can end up in a 'zombie' mode where they are still responding to some commands but never deliver any frames. How is your camera connected back to the PC? Are you using hubs or extended/long USB cables?

Anyway, if you can find the SharpCap log of one of the times you had a problem then it will tell us more.

cheers,

Robin
