Why QuickCam Only Records at 15 fps?
The Logitech QuickCam software is limited to 15fps for a few reasons and one is that it would chew up a lot of disk space if we (Logitech) supported 30 fps as the video files would be considerably larger in size. The other is that there is no real benefit to the user, the 15fps is sufficient for sending good quality; small transfer sized video. We (Logitech) are producing a software that is consumer friendly and easy (one click email) to use. Third party software is usually focused on just making the thing work with all known features of a camera (e.g. Adobe and images) This higher end type of software is where you would see 30 fps support.
On the package we (Logitech) list the camera (hardware) will support 30 fps, we (Logitech) do not state that the software will. On the side note, Logitech also will not recommend any software which can support 30fps on their cameras.
