Help: Upside down picture in Philips ToUCam Pro 740, inter..

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Hi there,

I have a Philip ToUCam Pro (740) webcam.
It worked fine for more then a year.

But all of a sudden, the picture is now "upside-down".
This cannot be corrected in the standard utility software, or even in the
Operating System (XP Pro).

I asked the Philips helpdesk (email) and got this unbelievable stupid
answer:

"Remove ALL usb drivers in your system, and install again."

Sleep nicely, Philips.

I connected the camera to already 9 different systems, and always the dsame
problem: picture upside down.
Problem is IN the camera, NOT in the computer.

To make a long story short:

Anyone of you knows how to correct the INTERNAL settings of the Philips 740
ToUCan Pro webcam, or knows techie-guys that could help me out??

Thanks a lot!!

PS: A solution would be, to put the webcam upside down: problem gone, heh
heh, but I'm looking for a REAL solution.

Turn off "hardware acceleration" and nothing else.

I've had my video flipped upside down when an application that
uses the WMD drivers is installed. I get around this by
reinstalling my origional capture card drivers and the video is
upright again.

you could try updating your WDM driver (vfwupd.exe).
Google for it, or there is one on VisionGS's page:
http://www.visiongs.de/vfwupd.exe

(via their faq page
http://www.visiongs.de/faq.html#5

Good luck

Hi there and THANKS a lot for your answer.

You are talking about a "capture card"

I'm not using a capture card, and don't have any WMD drivers installed.

Any more hints???
