jit.qt.record + delay = random length issue

d-track — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 18:13:19 +0000

The code below does the following:
After open the webcam and tick the metro then a cropped image appears in a jit.pwindow from the webcam (it’s a HD webcam at the native 1280×720 set to crop the center as 720×720 res)
Ao far so good.
Then i hit the write message connected to jit.qt.record it starts recording a 6 seconds long video at 10 fps so the end result is 60 frames in 6 seconds.
On may Mac. But for my current project i have to do this on a Vista laptop and the length is always between 5 and 9 seconds. it seems random and i almost never get 6 secs but the resolution (720×720) and the frame rate (10 fps) is always correct.
what could be the problem?
