It's a video deposition/complaint/feedback/confession/booth.  The complaint was slow video framerate.  

after testing device & network throughput with VNC & streaming, we fixed it by UNINSTALLING the webcam drivers. 

it was some fancy new thing, and wasn't allowing us to explicitly set the resolution at a driver level.

so we removed the driver, and the most basic windows driver did a 320x240 stream. 

then we installed a different/older driver for the same camera, and got it up closer to 640x480 at at least 25 fps. 

problem solved.

what amateurs put this thing together ? ?  so goofy and complicated: mac mini running xp two cpu when only one needed single Linux box  more reliable and cheaper... furthermore, they developed on quad core with firewire; and installed with two seperate mac & pcs both running xp & vista with a webcam. They obviously didn't leave time to debug on-site, after changing platforms for install.

and did i mention it's in windows ? 

 Amateurs !!

heaven forbid they were paid.
