Not able to record video

I have the same problem - I'm on an Intel MacBook Pro, running Leopard. I tried installing Adobe Flash Player 10, thinking that might fix it, but it still doesn't work. I'm able to see myself on the screen via iSight, but no footage shows up when I update my status.

Any update on this? I still can't get a recording to stick. I don't even know if it's actually recording anything at all.

Thanks, Ericson - I tried recording with my power cable plugged in, but no luck. I'll try using an ethernet cable later (I've been using the wireless connection here at school up to this point). :)

An update: Recording works perfectly here at home, on wifi no less. I had previously been trying to record on my school's wireless network, so that connection for whatever reason was the problem.

Hey!

Seems to be working form me now. Even with the power cable not connected.

Thanks for fixing it!

i hace the same problem i can se the video i record but when i load the page again i cant see it it dosent seem to load the video and im using a macbook with built in isight

actually if you just reset SMP system mgmt profiler on your macbook it does the trick. at least it did for me.
just turn off your laptop, unplug power, take out your battery, press and hold the power button for five seconds, replug and put back in your battery, then restart.

noup that didnt work either :(

mine worked the first time but on the 2nd time it stopped recording. the "webcam" went black

Where should i go to rec my video...im from argentina and i dont understand the english very well... thak u!

I recorded twice yesterday and both show as black boxes. I can't delete them either.

Ditto Starline. The lack of a delete feature is also pretty annoying. Adding a delete function is most idea when these "hiccups" happen.

Okay, I have a phillips PC cam- I don't have money to buy an expensiv cam-I click on my amcam desctop icon and it works- but when I hit record on robo.to- it keeps saying to open orturn on my cam. The only way to turn on is to open the icon on my destop- I do this and it still doesn't work, I also unplug an dpluged it back in. still nothinjg. I've even recorded it , saved it, and sent it to the email I was given and AGAIN it doens't show anyting. It gives the title as an update that I put in the email subjecy but thats it- no recorded vid. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

I'm still having this same problem. What the heck programmers, its been a month.

My problem is that it won't let me update a video at all. I click on record and the connecting thing pops up but the window that says allow decline access to webcam never pops up. I don't think it's because of my webcam though because for some reason, it lets me uplaod a video if I react to someone elses. This just happened recently. It's been about three days. Just thought I'd let you know~thanks.

I have the same problem as Blattman, click record and the webcam never shows up. I got my friend to use his account on my laptop and it works on his, but not mine ... On other computers/laptops, my account is just a black box ... What happend?

Are you using Internet Explorer? I've got mine to work again but the only way I did it was to use Firefox. The weird thing was that once I got it to work on firefox it started to work again on explorer. But yeah, we pretty much have the exact same problem so try this and see if it helps at all.

I'm also having the same problem! I've just got a MacBook Pro, and I'm using the internal iSight camera. I've selected the USB Video Class Video, but it's showing up as completely black.

My problem is that I don't see ANYTHING. It's just a grey box with lines for me. No record, no nothing. :(

I think it's time to just redo your Flash recorder from the ground up, guys. I'm sick of "giving it another try" only to find the same damn buggy recorder. On my 2Ghz Black MacBook running Snow Leopard and the latest Firefox, just now, I got the recorder to record properly once. But I wasn't satisfied with the clip so I recorded it again. The 2nd recording looked like a successful recording, but all that displayed was the thumbnail from the previous recording. I clicked "redo" again and tried a third time and got the same results that I've gotten on previous attempts to record--just a black screen.

I'm no longer following this question on GetSatisfaction because I'm tired of hearing about how people are *still* having trouble with this recorder.

well thats your problem-i've went on a whole new computer and won't read my cam. guess roboto just sucks and no one cares to get it fixed

I see a fix is being worked on, I just want to inform that I have the same problem. I'm on Windows XP, I have a strong connection and I'm not on low bandwidth. The video records and I see it playback as I add my status, but as soon as I save it and go back to my profile... all I get is a black box that I can't delete.
