GBM Shortcut: Testing the Lenovo IdeaPad U110 Webcam

- Rob Bushway

In this GBM Shortcut, I test out the web cam on the Lenovo IdeaPad U110. You'll immediately notice that the voice and video are initially out of sync, then get better as the recording goes on, and then get out of sync again. The recording was done using Lenovo's Easy Capture application. I tried to use Vista's MovieMaker, but MovieMaker didn't recognize a valid camera. In the video, I talk about other issues with the webcam, my experience with typing on the U110, and battery life with the 4-cell battery.

This recording was conducted while running on battery using the Balanced Power Plan.

Needless to say, I don't think I'll be using the U110 to record any Shortcut videos.

Rob, the issue is the Lenovo Capture application. I've used the webcam with several other programs and no sync issues.
