There was a certain webcam program that kept my numbers deceptively low through 2004, when the program switched backends...
2003 - 1:575
2004 - 1:580
2005 - 1:1200
2006 - 1:1300
Totally agree with the other comments that finding a decent program is a shot in the dark. Some will absolutely rock one month and stink up the joint the next. So, I try not to watch the numbers too much...other than the bottom line...how much is hitting my bank every month.
These days if I can get a program to convert at sub 1:1000, they're a keeper
That said, I do have a couple right now that I REALLY need to get around to yanking completely
