Hello everyone, can the Blue Iris software record with H.264 Video Compression Format? Thank you in advance for your response.

Would you mind posting the mencoder settings that you have settled on? I have lots of content in the form of MPEG-2 files that I would like to use on my Zen.Thanks!

Sorry to say that I'm unfamiliar to webcams and what type of file format they save on. However, I did a bit of research on the HD Pro Webcam C920 and found that it likes to make the recorded file into an H.264 format. It's basically compresses the video so that it takes less space than that of a MPEG-2 format. I would assume that it is compatible with Vegas Pro 12 since it's new. I'm surprised that there isn't that much info on this particular thing. All I can find is how to render (save) edited videos in H.264 format. The best one I can find is this link to Yahoo Answers, but it talks about an older version of Vegas Pro: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090909053518AAcMwS8 Hope this helps!

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

Can't answer it, but you can go to their website and send their tech support an email and they are pretty responsive. I use Blue Iris software with the camera and it captures the scene when the camera is triggered.

Hi Damian. Thanks for reaching out. The NetCam has its own software for viewing/streaming. It does not work with other 3rd party software like Blue Iris.

The recording go to the hard drive in a compressed format H.264. The files can build up unless you maintain the storage. The cameras also take snapshots, these are stored as JPEG, like anyother digital camera. These too can add up unles you elete the unwanted ones, my suggestion is to use Blue Iris, you can set all the paremeters to how much it records and where and how it stores it..

You can set this camera to record a short video clip when it detects motion using the Foscam IP Camera Tool program. The problem is you have to keep the window open in IE all the time or it won't record. I use Blue Iris software to manage my video cameras and much prefer that to the IP Camera Tool.

You can record without paying manually, or on motion using an std card, but I really really reccommend blue iris software which costs ~ 50. It's got a ton of features and is the way to go, especially if you plan on having more than one camera.I'm an electrician who installs these and my own shop has 9 foscams and blue Iris installed on a dedicated computer.

You can upgrade the 50D to Magic Lantern Firmware and it can record Video at 24 and 30 FPS, full HD ! No audio though. You may use an external audio recorder and synch it with Video. "DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK" is the advise by ML, but it is such an easy upgrade and supported by the community well. Using it for 1 month and absolutely no issues. Behaves like a normal camera for stills, though ML provides so many extras you never knew this camera was capable of !

Not trying to fanboy it up or anything but I've found the very best software is called Blue Iris. http://blueirissoftware.com/I have 4 from xfinity and still have their service but they don't provide any means for recording etc, so I just use Blue iris installed on my home server to do all the motion triggering, recording, remote viewing. Then setup to Google drive for cloud backups just encase the server was stolen etc..Also, you will need to know the IP addresses of each camera. This can allow you to jsut view each one with their built in software or when adding to a surveillance program. iSpy does this automatically but just didn't care for the program. Blue iris supports up to 64 cameras for $50 lifetime.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

the cameras are viewable over a network (browser window like firefox) so if you open multiple windows and resize by holding cntrl and _+ keys, but if you want to record not just view multiple cameras you're going to need software like blue iris and an extra hard drive just for writing camera data stock software does not cut it, it lags.

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.

I use Blue Iris on my PC and Foscam Pro on my ipad and iphone.. I only have 4 cameras but I think they can handle much more.
