Post subject:  IPI Recorder Has "Unspecified Error" and Then Crashes

I just downloaded the trial version of this program, was hoping to finally find something comparatively inexpensive to current motion capture systems, however, I havn't had a chance to use it yet because I keep getting an Unspecified Error when trying to run IPI Recorder. The Error says: Unspecified Error, I hit ok. Then another box pops up and says It is possible that your camera does not support selected resolution/framerate. Try a different resolution/framerate. After hitting ok yet another pops up that says It is also possible that your USB/Firewire is not plugged in firmly or there was a temporary camera driver glitch. Replugging your camera or restarting IPI Recorder may fix the problem.

When i start the program it's reading all three of my cams, they come up in a menu with checkboxes beside them. After selecting ok thats when I get the errors. I've tried selecting different framerates and resolutions and thats a no go. I've unplugged and replugged my cams many times and that doesnt work either. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled IPI Recorder and that doesn't work.

I have three Microsoft Lifecam HD - 5000 webcams, and I'm running a Dell Inspiron 537 Pentium Dual Core E5200 @ 2.50 ghz 2.49ghz 4g Ram and 64bit Vista os.

Sorry but current version of iPi Recorder is not compatible with Microsoft Lifecam HD 5000. The problem is, iPi Recorder only supports standard 4:3 resolutions and Microsoft Lifecam HD 5000 is a widescreen 720p camera.

You can try the following workaround:

Delete Microsoft drivers for Lifecam HD 5000 and reboot the system. Connect the cameras. Windows should offer you to use generic UVC ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class ) drivers for your cameras. In UVC mode, your cameras should support 4:3 resolutions.

Please note that recommended camera for use with iPi Desktop Mocap is Sony PlayStation Eye.
