  • how did you get the 16:9 aspect ratio?

  • I remember getting this as a present in 2007...ahh the look on my face

  • I have one of these but it record in orange how do i change it to record in normal settings

  • Actually there's nothing you can do. It's the way the camera interprits light. When there's not enough light it tends to make things start to look orange.  Try shooting outdoors and you'll see a difference.

    What I do to remove the orange is use a program called 'Magix Edit Pro' and I can adjust the color orange and remove it.

  • hey, Where did you buy it?

  • dont buy one i sucks not worth the money i have one and it sucks im planning on getting a flip mino its wayy better when i recorded with it evry thing was green i hate it

  • @airsoftkid97 don't buy it it's the worst camera in the world

  • how can you make it slo mo?

  • Btw I Use Windows Movie Maker

  • To mute it, there should be an option when you right-moust click your footage to mute it. Possibly under properties. However there IS a way, you just need to tinker with it. I don't have my windows computer on me right now so I can't step you through it...

  • To do this, you just need to adjust the Volume slider, which is on the left side of Win. Movie Maker, about halfway down, just to the left of the little microphone Icon (for narration).

    You can adjust a slider to balance the sound between the audio/music and the Audio from the video. You can completely turn off any sound from the video camera from there.

  • and How would I mute it?

  • Like Muisc?

  • Like music or sound, depending on what you want. You first must mute your track which is the existing Vcamnow audio through an editing program and then put a new track of audio in there of what ever you want.

  • How do you trun Off the sound On Your Vcam?

  • You cannot however you can edit over it like with this.

  • well just got 1 but now we uploaded a vid but after a while it just lets us record for like 40 sec in stead of what ever. also we deleted the other vids all of them and still memory full plz help thanks

  • what you will need to do is reformat your memory card. For windows, go to 'My Computer' and right mouse click your memory card and choose format. You then will be able to format your card and free up some space. If you have a mac, I'll send you a message on a different process.

  • For about $10 you can get a "SD memory card" that is 1 gig. This will allow you to record nearly an hour on the camera.

  • what are the differences between the vcam now and the vcam now 2.0? Wondering, because I have the original orange one, and want to know if I should upgrade if it has better quality or something like that.

  • New look and slightly better video quality. That's all I can think of.

  • cool! i got a vcam for x-mas! i also got a tripod!

  • Great!

    Its a good gift eh?

  • does it record audio?

  • As in recording audio with the video then yes. It does not record audio alone like if you want to take it to lectures to record a professor talking then no.

  • i was just curious. im trying to decide whether to get this to shoot my new youtube videos or the flip camcorder. if you can give my your opinion that'd by great. should i get this or the flip?

  • Of the two, I would suggest getting the flip. It has better resolution and sound.

  • thx. ;)

  • get camera i just got one for Christmas it rocks

  • Merry Christmas!

    Yes, it does!

    Its a very heavy duty camera

  • It can do stop motion, but you'll need to have it set to where it can take pictures. Then edit them together with your favorite editing program. Hope that helps! =)

  • For starters thanks for explaing everything.

    Once again I have a qustion.Have you ever seen the movie The Wizard of Speed & Time? If not, you can find the trailor for it here at You Tube. The reason why I ask is that movie is filled with stop motion effects, at least I think that's how it was done. My question is this, can you do stop motion with the Vacm Now? How about Time Laspe effects? What other type of effects can I do? Just wondering.

    That's all for now.

  • I know I ask alot of questions on this video.

    Sorry about that, but you guys seem to be the only ones who know what I'm talking about when it comes to the Vcam Now. So, as usual I've got a question again. Can you add in blue or green screen effects? How about computer animation programs? If so, how?

    That's all for now.

  • Sure, no problem! Come on by and ask about any questions on your mind.

    The Vcamnow does not have direct capability to change screen colors, you will need editing programs to do that. The best editing program I know is Magix Edit Pro 11 or 12. I've used many other editing programs in the past and Magix is the best. It can also take single frames from your camera (like stop motion) and edit it together. The best frame rate to use for animation is 12 frames for every second of footage.

  • Thanks, but now I get a blue screen of death when I install the driver! Even buying a new camrea! This would never happen on a mac!

  • It depends on what operating system you have. It also depends if you have viruses, trojans or spyware. I recommend getting spybot S&D for spyware and AVG free for viruses and do a complete scan on your system (you can find these two programs on a google search). Then uninstall your older drivers and reinstall fresh. If it still happens then their is a serious problem with your operating system.

  • Well thanks for your help RET80 :D i will upload the drivers/Wizard software to Sendspace/megaupload for other people to use them since there is no drivers (i might be mistaken) but none that i could find online. I love the video too i didnt think the camera had that much quality :D plus the music goes great with it...

  • Great! I could use all the help I need to driver distribution.

  • hey i need someone so such to get me the drivers to this camera i have a Vcamnow 2.0 (green) and it works awsome!!!. I need the drivers for the Webcam/windows moviemaker use. If you could email me the software from the CD or the drivers it would be greatly appreciated :D email: suzuki_hayabusa_kidd@hotmail

  • I'm curious.

    I've been trying to run the CD on my computer

    all morning long, but it won't play. It asks me to cancel all windows programs. If I do that, will I loose the internet or my E-Mail? Why does it want me to shut off all windows programs? Will it hurt my computer in anyway?

    Finially, why won't the softwear run?

  • Well most installation programs require that all applications be shut down because it needs to make changes to your computer, and if the programs are open it could interupt and cause problems. So go ahead and shut down all your programs and install. It shouldn't do anything bad to your computer. They are a well known company =D.

  • I actually own a player,

    but no discs yet. Thanks for explaining everything. I still have a couple questions. By now you should know I never run out of questions. Here they are.

    1.)It says it can be turned into

    a webcam. How can I get it to hang onto my comouter?

    2.)Have you heard of Metacafe? Can I make videos with this camera for Metacafe?

    Just wondering.

    That's all for now.

  • No problem.

    1) to turn it into a webcam all you need to do is plug it in with your USB cable and on your camera you have a 'camcorder video / camera pictures' mode. It a button you see on the side when you open the viewscreen (with all the other buttons).

    2) As for metacafe, you COULD but first use youtube to practice and once you start getting really good, shift over to metacafe, they're a little more high end.

  • For starters thanks for answering so quickly.

    Now I've only got two questions to ask this time.

    1.)It's says you can also put them

    on Personal Video Discs? Where can Iget those?

    2.)Can you buy them the

    same way you could with blank tapes?

    Thanks for explaining everything.

    I really appreaciate it! I can't wait to use mine!

  • 1) Ah, Personal Video disks, also known as PVD's. Ever heard of the video now? Its made by hasbro, check it out on a google search. They're not really that useful. PVD's can only be used with those players.

    2) They are really hard to find, you may find them in places that sell toys like Target and Toys R' Us.

    In all, you would have better luck getting a DVD recorder and plugging the A/V cables into it to save your footage on a universal DVD.

  • I finially got one!

    It was on sale for 45 bucks! I can't believe how small it is. Now I've got some questions again.

    1.)How do you start recording with it?

    2.)If it goes on. t.v. can

    you reoord this onto a VCR/DVD recorder?

    3.)What kind of card gives you the most time?

    That's all for now.

  • 1) you can start recording with it right away =D, all you need is two batteries and a memory card.

    2) yes, your vcam should come with AV cords, all you have to do is jack it into your VCR input and hit record on it

    3) the best memory card; there really is none, it just goes by sizes. A good size for it is 512mb

  • Thanks again for the Info.

    I only have one last question about the Vcam.

    I read you can also take Digital pictures with this. If so, can you put these pictures up on MySpace if you want too?

    Just wondering.

  • Completely.  It takes pretty decent pictures and again, it saves to the SD memory card for upload anywhere you want.

  • For starters thanks for explaining everything

    and for answering so quickly. I was wondering, what kind of stores can you get this SD Memory from? Plus, does it allow you to make videos for You Tube? If so, how?

  • You can pick up SD memory cards just about any store that sells electronics: Target, Best Buy, CompUSA, Wal-Mart, K-mart, etc.

    And they sell in sizes of: 256mb, 512mb, 1024mb (1gig), and on and on up to 8gigs. For this camera all you need is....512mb or 1gig. You can easily upload these to youtube because they're instantly files in the SD card and youtube allows the upload of files.

  • And oh yes, thank you. I try to respond as fast as I can, I have instant notification when someone posts information here.

  • I'm curious.

    I'm thinking about getting one of these little cameras, but my Dad wants to know something. Can you use DVD's with them at all?

    Nice music & test footage by the way.

  • Nope, they use a thing called an SD memory card to record all the data. Its used in most cameras now-a-days. DVD camcorders, take it from me, stink. They're horrible devices and cost far too much.

  • I got one for $30 use at a store. But it cant be used as a web cam, Windows sees it only as a disk drive! I f****ing hate Windows! :(

  • =D all you need to do is press the camera/video option on your vcam and it will change modes!

  • i got mine lest year on x-mas i love it!

  • sweet thanks

  • sweet i just got a vcam whoohooo!

  • Great! Its a fun little toy!

    To achieve the image I treated it with some post contrast and color saturation.

  • but how long does it allow u to record videos without those memory cards (aka the time limit).

  • my vcam broke!

  • Oh no! What happened?

  • Hey Ret,

    Just wondering how much video you can get on a 1gb card. Let me know.

    :)

  • TONS! Lets just say with a 128mb card I can easily capture 10 minutes. With a 1 gig, I'd say at least an hour, if not more.

  • cool stuff frank!
