I had the same problem. Their customer service department says - and this iritates - that we likely don't have a fast enough computer. I've been looking on the Amazon webpage for where they might have listed computer requirements but I couldn't find any. Our laptop is just two years old and is reasonably built but in my opinion, speed requirements should have been front and center to any advertisement...

Quality was good but the "video" was more like a set of fast still pictures vs full motion. I may have had a bad unit. Returned it and did not get another one. Good luck!

you probably have component cables hooking it up from your cable box. Just get a $10 HDMI cable and problem solved. The component cable signal is too close to the amplifier on the TV. That signal is much slower than HDMI causing distortion in your picture. HDMI cable will work trust me. I had same problem

Watch video on you tube about operation and ask him. He's a retailer. Seems very knowledgeable about it. Also I know if you have to many settings turned on it can interfere in quality and operation. I think keeping it simple works best. Check out you tube video!!!!

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.

Our picture quality is from edge to edge except when on 4.3 format. Sounds like you may have a defective tv. We have had our tv for 2 months and no issues. Hope this helps...

The one I just bought does not do either. It's broken and I will return it. I had one previously that I broke, myself, by accident. It did video with audio and still shots. But with these suppliers, it is uncertain what you will actually receive, or if it will work. The first one I bought had higher resolution than was advertised 720p vice 640p, which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy with the first one and will probably send the one back and ask to have it replaced.

I had a similar experience which I stated in my review a while ago. It looks like this card is somehow limited to low frame rates at 1080p with major problems @60Hz.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

In low light, noise and motion artifacts are tradeoffs. Are you getting noise because you've set the ISO "too high"? You might try multiple shots of the same image with different speed / ISO settings. Drop the ISO until motion artifacts become unacceptable. It's a subjective game. But the point of expensive equipment like this is that you should be able to get a good image with less of both noise and motion artifact.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

720P looks great. At the higher resolution the playback stutters and the frame rate drops to 24 fps.

My video is fine when viewing it using a SMALL window. The larger the viewing window the worse the resolution becomes. The newer webcams are much better now that technologyhas improved. I hope this helps.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried changing resolution, using Quicktime and Real Player and get the same results.

Here is a video that I took. It is recorded at 720P. I didn't want to bother with 1080P because I don't think it would have made that much difference and would just chew through hard drive space faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7ZmTy87Vk
