Hi,
?
I would be surprised if you really have NTSC version camera. What I had in mind is a problem, which can be introduced by the USB A/D converter.
?
Example : I had a PAL camera, however my A/D converter on first capture insisted that it has on input NTSC signal (not PAL) and the output was always flawed by having NTSC framerate (and sometimes wrong videi linear dimensions). I had to force some capture settings (I was using VirtualDub) to convince the grabber it has an PAL input. Thenafter everything was OK.
?
I think if on input is indeed PAL signal with 25fps, but grabber signals it is NTSC with 29.97fps, you can't get correct calibration.
?
Check and experiment.

I bought the camera from a UK dealer and wasn't aware of the NTSC fact until later.
Anyway I understand that British and US colleagues have this system and can naturally work on occultations with the OccuRec, yes?
Thank you Jan!

Hi,
are you sure you have an NTSC camera ?
I would asume as an European user you have a PAL version from some info off the screenshots. So the problem may be with the USB grabber settings.

Hi All,
I receive the message "calibration was not succesful" using occuRec v3.3 BETA software and I wonder how reliable is the video recording time of that conditions and how shall I fix it? Thank you!
