How many frames per second (fps) can QuickCam achieve?
QuickCam will produce about 15 fps on most Macs in a window size of 120×160. FYI – Saturday morning cartoons are twelve frames per second. A few Macs will only achieve 10-12 fps. These include the SE/30, IIcx, IIvx, and PowerBook 165c. At smaller window sizes, frame rates are higher (e.g., 30 fps at 80×120), at larger window sizes frame rates are lower (e.g., about 4 fps at 320×240).
