DV Camcorder as Webcam
Eric
There, someone suggested there may be a patch available
that would solve my problem. He suggested I repost here.
Input from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

POSTING:
John B,
You state in your reply that you currently use your DV
camera, connected via firewire, as your webcam. I have a
DV camera hooked to my computer via firewire, but have had
little success trying to use it as a webcam. Apparently,
MSN only recognizes a USB connection, and Eyeball
seemingly has trouble handling that sort of video
quality. Any suggestions of programs to use or settings
to change to make my cam work better for video-
conferencing/camming? I'd hate to have this sweet camera
and have to buy another just to video-conference/cam. (I
have a JVC GRDVL300 if that matters). Thank in advance.

Until yesterday I couldn't use my DV cam as a webcam either. Then I saw
a message in this newsgroup about the software at www.trackercam.com. I
downloaded it and it works great! Check it out.

128) and DV Capture Device(firewire camera.) I use the SB-
1394 port on the Soundblaster Audigy card and a Sony TRV-??
310. It took a while to get the camera configed so it
would connect via firewire in camera mode. On my camera I
had to remove Battery and tape.
TrackerCam works great in allowing me to use the camera in
Netmeeting with people that do not have XP installed on
their systems.
