If you uninstall 2.1.6 and install the previous version (2.1.5) do you see the same frame rate issue? - http://skjm.com/icam/iCamSetup2.1.5.exe
How often does the image refresh when you're viewing in fullscreen?Does the "Better Frame Rate -> Better Image Quality" slider have any effect on the fullscreen framerate?
We have seen instances where video codecs slowed down the processing (or even caused crashes). In particular, we've heard reports that ffdshow can hijack the image processing, causing slowdowns. It's hard to say, 2 fps isn't too far where I'd expect the framerate to be. The theoretical max. is 10 fps, but most people won't see that. 2 fps is a little sow, but I'd still say it's within the normal range.
We have seen jerky or choppy video in certain situations, but I'm not sure if we've seen the specific behavior you described.How long does the video play smoothly and how long does it pause for (just trying to figure out if there's a pattern or if it's random)?Does the "Better Frame Rate -> Better Image Quality" slider have any effect on the fullscreen framerate?
There is a tradeoff between image quality and framerate. The better the image quality is, the slower and choppier the framerate will be (and vice-versa).The thumbnails are smaller images and require less processing and bandwidth. In addition, each camera has it's own thread for image processing and communication. That means that four thumbnails will be handled by four different threads, while the fullscreen mode will only have a single thread processing a larger image. It's possible that's why you're seeing a difference between the thumbnail view and the fullscreen view.
