Sounds like performance problems. The audio might be recording overruns, 3.30 should have this fixed as audio recording has it's own thread. If you can't grab more than 15 fps it might be that your box simply does'nt manage to compress more than 15 images/second. Writing a movie file instead of many small files might help too because open()+close() are not for free... Gerd -- Get back there in front of the computer NOW.
