Photo Booth Video Shortens Video Recordings

Hello!
I have been very frustrated with Photo Booth. I have a new macbook with Leopard 10.5.2. Here's what happens:
1) I record a video of any length using Photo Booth
2) After I hit stop (to stop recording), the video appears, but it is much shorter than I recorded.

The amount of video that is cut off is completely random. For example, a 3 minute video might get cut down to 32 seconds, 2 minutes and 4 seconds, etc. Shorter videos also have this problem.

So far, I have tried delaying sleep mode and turning off the image changer on the desktop.

Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing it?

Thanks!!

not positive, but i think iMovie is better for recording video

i've got the same kind of problem, it is really frustrating because there is so not any apparent reason for it
