iCam Support / Re: MacBook Pro gets hot

Hi Stefan,

Yes it's the VDCAssistant program that had a 70% usage rate. This morning I did some testing. When I
started iCam, both VDCAssistant and iCamsource started out at 30% plus or minus 2%. After two hours,
VDCAssistant was at 72% and iCamsource was at 66% and the fans on the laptop were running at high
speed. The CPU temp was a 99C.

If VDCAssistant is a USB program would it help to rest the praim settings or something like that?

iCam Support / MacBook Pro gets hot

« on: January 06, 2011, 11:03:14 PM »

Loaded iCam source on my wife's MacBook Pro and notice later (an hour or so) that the MacBooks fans go
to high speed and the laptop seems fairly hot. I looked at the processes and there is one that I can't remember
exactly the name, but it was something like VD***** and it was bouncing around 55 to 75% of CPU usage and
iCam source around 15%. I adjusted the motion detection to the mid range setting and it didn't seem to help.

Is this normal and any ideas?

Thanks..   Lobo
