I recently read the article on Tom's Hardware about using a camcorder as a webcam. They used crappy, free USB drivers and the results were HORRIBLE. WebCamDV has very good quality, pretty much perfect, but it is only for FireWire connected camcorders. My camcorder doesn't have a firewire connection, it only has USB (supposed to be for quick captures). Is there software that gets similair results to WebCamDV, only from a USB connection?
I am new to movie maker. I am trying to capture video from my JVC compact VHS camcorder. I have it connectd via the S-VHS cable. When I go to Capture from video device it says that the device is currenlt in use.
I am trying to connect my Panasonic DV203 camcorder to my PC in order to create DVDs of the content I have video taped. My system refuses to recognize the camcorder. I get no ping acknowleging a new hardware device as been attached.I am trying to connect via a Ultra IEEE 1394 Firewire adapter (ULT-31342).Device manager shows no conflicts.I've tried the MS MovieMaker, an evaluation copy of ULead's Video Studio 9.0, and an evaluation copy of Video Edit Magic 4.0. None of them see the camcorder. I get various error messages from each stating "A video capture device was not detected" or "No capture device found" or "Either no video capture driver is installed in this system or no device is connected".
I've "always" had problems with using devices on my computer (XP). When I tried to hook up my camcorder I got a blue screen of death, and in the end no matter what I tried, as soon as I tried to stream my video it froze so badly the machine had to be turned off at the wall, and left to recover. I don't remember what the blue screen code was at that time, as I assumed it was a one-off. However, I now like to keep in touch with friends and family in New Zealand using a webcam. Now, I had freezing and crashing using Messenger, so I now use Camfrog, which has been fine up until yesterday, well, actually, not fine, sometimes it would crash when I put in the camera password (to activate the webcam), but mostly it would work.
So .......... yesterday, it started playing up real badly. I had to reboot (after turning the pc off at the wall) five times! Now it doesn't even give me the chance to put in the password just gives me this: (put a ? in by the UGCODE, cause I couldn't quite read what that symbol was [screen cuts off], but from googling I think its a "b"...
easiest way i can capture video's off my DV Camcorder into windows movie marker and if i can, have it automatically split the clips up into 4.2 gig sized movies..(the reason being i have a movie thats 8 or 10 gigs long, and i want to cut it into slices that will fit just right onto a dvdr) there is a check box when your recording the movie that says "make clips when finished" or something like that and it just seems to split my movie in half i think? i'm not really sure...Also does WMM copy the information DIRECTLY from the tape digitally to the computer so what i have is an EXACT copy of what was on the camcorder? (i.e. the FPS and screen size and image quality are the EXACT SAME? no gen loss?)..
I have a 1.3MP USB webcam. I have 2 PCs. The webcam works all right with the laptop, except that machine is too wimpy to support video conferencing. When I connect the same webcam to my desktop, it SEEMS to be OK; it is recognized, drivers install OK, BUT when I use (for example) the Skype video set-up, it all seems to work, I can command the webcom ON (and the LED lights up), BUT there is NO VIDEO shown, just a black screen. All info screens show the webcam is OK, but I can't get the PC to recognize any video from it.
The word Webcam appears on my screen then my browser(Chrome) starts and loads tab after tab of a webpage for Logitech webcams. Taps continue to load until chrome crashes. Only then can I regain control of Chrome and the computer. I've tried all the usual antispy tools but nothing finds what is causing this. I do have a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse.
I put the cd in for it and it says the device is working properly, but when i try to use the cam in imaging i get an error message "General failure in response to MSG_ENABLED and low on memory free up disk space and try again. she has way more then enough free space.It is a P3 800mhz 128ram and running win98se.

I use an Acer Veriton 7200D using Windows XP Professional SP1, bought a Labtec USB Webcam and installed it, it works and I thought everything was fine until I noticed all the icons on the sys tray have disappeared, the only one left was the Labtec camera icon.Second thing I noticed was when I want to see MY COMPUTER, it shows up nothing, the only thing showing was a torch saying "searching", so I deinstalled the whole thing and get system retore to get my icon and MY COMPUTER back.I then installed the camera on my daughter's machine which uses WIndows XP home and it was all right.

Purchased an HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA to use with my Dell 5100 laptop, with Windows XP Home Edition O/S, SP3, Intel Pentium 4, 2.66GHz CPU, and 512 GB RAM. Loaded the HP supplied software CD, and then plugged the cable into a USB 2.0 port, but it failed to connect to the webcam. The hardware wizard gave the following message: �Problem installing the hardware: HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA. An error occurred during the installation of the driver.Have tried multiple times to delete and reload the software. Located the driver by clicking on Computer, System Properties, Hardware, then Device Manager tabs and found the driver under �Other Devices� which shows a yellow question mark. Is this the proper location for a device connecting to a USB port? Please advise. The General, Device Status tab contains the following message: This device is not configured correctly (Code 1). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver. I�ve tried to reload according to the prompts, but with no success.

i got this very old and cheap brandless webcam, it came with a mini-cdr which holds the drivers, when i place the mini-cdr into my dvd drive, it made a load noise, then the installer runs and i got the error shown in the top of the pic, as i continue the installation i got another error, shown at the botton of the pic, now i know maybe the disc is corroupt or something, so i decided to use device manager to install the drivers manually.
when windows did found the driver on the disc, it turns out to be a notepad file, which was strange, but i continue to install anyway, but windows pops up a message saying the driver isn't signed or could be harmful or something like that, i cancel the installation and uplugs the camera. i thought it made sense since the mini-cdr could actually be a coaster or a badly burnt disc, as the installer states there's an error, but should i try anyways?
I get an error report and the chat software crashes after I try to use my webcam. I can't use it in any chat service, I've tried Skype.com and a Chinese chat software called QQ. Every time I try to use the webcam with QQ I get the below error message and the QQ software crashes
Using Windows XP . ASUS AMD socket A.The official Logitech website directs you to various driver inspector software which scans your computer and identifies driver updates needed. Very nice, but they all charge $30 to download the updates. I may be mean but I thought updates of this kind should be free. Where can I find a free update for my webcam driver please?
