What kind of webcam do you have? Model/Name
It's a Logitech HD Webcam C310. I've caught the crash in visual studio, though it's happening somewhere down in lvcod64.dll
which I believe is Logitech's.
I've got some feedback about this crash from other users. But I'm not sure what's happening inside lvcod64.dll
, if I can do something about it or wait for a driver update.
Btw, Do you know if the driver is up to date?
I have a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and all I get is a black screen, not sure what is wrong. Did updated drivers did MSI install rebooted etc. Nothing worked.
Not sure if this is helpful, if this needs to be in a new thread let me know.
@lukedubber Yes, it is a helpful information. :)
I believe there's something wrong inside the Webcam recorder, I need to develop it from scratch.
@justinian Did you try to delete or rename that dll? Maybe the webcam still works with the default drivers.
Looks like if that DLL is moved out of the way, the webcam does work for simple video still, and it avoids the ScreenToGif crash.
(I actually don't really use the webcam feature in S2G, so I'll probably just leave the DLL in place, but I'm happy to help test/debug if needed.)
Oh, thank you for that experiment. :)
I was trying to understand what's the purpouse of lvcod64.dll
, apparently it's a video codec, so it makes sense that the webcam still works even without that code library.
In different versions of Windows10, observed incorrect operation of proprietary Logitech apps/drivers; in the second half of 2017, belike upgrade to 1709-fall-creators-update, the problem is solved. Program freezes due to an error caused by a dependency on the presence/absence( in the OS itself ) of a particular Systems codec/component. http://support.logitech.com/en_us/downloads - + Logitech Webcam Software (v.2.80.853.0 CDfirmware utilities 2012), additionally - +Diagnostic Tool, +Camera Settings. In the case of "...I get is a black screen"(if there is no "live image" in the application window ) you should try to use the universal driver; Device Manager>Imaging devices>Properties>Driver> Information is defined as C:\Windows\System32\drivers\usbvideo.sys + ksthunk.sys. A generic/universal video device driver is downloaded from Microsoft sites( Update-Automatically search or when you first connect to System_case/chassis) before the original "box"drivers installing.
I get a crash when going to the webcam view from the start window:
