hey guys i am having problem running freetrack with my PC   :(  i run freetrack in admin mode and whenever i click 'START' my camera LED glows for 3-4 seconds and then it shows freetrack.exe has stopped working.. [that new window with skull doesn't open. it crashes showing freetrack.exe has stopped working]
i have tried setting threshold to max/min. but it didn't worked.

in 'stream' button, it shows color/compression as : YUY2   [which isn't supported as written in FAQ]
what should i do? to make it work?

i would appreciate if anyone can help me solving this problem.

also, i installed split cam as suggested in FAQ section. opened split cam
and then ran freetrack. selected split cam video capture as source in freetrack and clicked 'start'
nothing happens. 'start' button changes to 'stop' button. but windows remains the same. the other page with skull model doesn't appear at all.

my setup:
Cam : microsoft VX-500 lifecam
OS: windows 7 X64
CPU: AMD phenom II X4
GPU: GT240 1GB DDR3
RAM: 4GB corsair value select

ps:sorry for my bad english.

Hi hgps,
I've got a few questions for you, does your webcam function normal in any other software?
And did you already try to to remove freetrack and your webcam(drivers) and reïnstal your webcam drivers and freetrack again?

Hi,
I searched the internet for your webcam vx-500, I found a few things about him.At the site of microsoft they say that the support wil stop in august 2013.It is plug/play.And your webcam was not in the list of webcams who wil work with win7.So maybe thats your problem.I think it is also a few years old(to old??????).
I didn't find any sollution for your problem unfortunitly.
Maybe you can look for an other webcam.I for example use a microsoft vx3000 webcam.And I must say it works greats.
Or maybe can you try your webcam and freetrack on an other pc with an older operating system(win XP)
Iam sorry that I can't help you any further with your problem.I hope that you get it working one day.

thanks :(  i am currently using facetracknoIR with point tracker plugin. its working but its not too accurate.

i am thinking about buying PS3 eye. will it work? i found in a few forums that there is no need to remove IR filter in ps eye. just mount a analog camera film on the lens and it'll work fine.

hi,
did you read on the site of freetrack  about webcams  they recommend for use with freetrack? On this site( freetrack homepage) there are a lot of answers for questions you may have..If you search this forum about ps3 you can also  find a lot of topics about a ps3-eye.
