Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 00:50 GMTI'd like to use my sony camcorder (pdx10) as a webcam. I have read the posts here about streaming. My camera is supposed to stream from its USB port.

I have read in numerous places it can be used as a webcam, but I seem to have problems activating it. I installed the USB drivers from Sony, and when I plug in the camcorder i hear a sound and see 'SONY USB device recognized.' But tyhat does not get me a picture. I use MSN and Yahoo. They found my old cheap dedicated webcam just fine. Yes, some people do it through firewire, but why when that is what USB is for? The reviews say you can use it as a webcam with 'netmeeting and similar applications.'

Are MSN and YAHOO similar applications? Anyone willing to mentor me step by step? Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 09:04 GMTHi Everybody, I have purchased SONY HDR-30 E recently.I am just confused with the movie download software provided with it.First of all I am downloading movies using USB cable,and not Firewire card. I am not able to download movie with the same series of frames as these were recorded on TAPE.I mean to say 'software forces to choose some options before start downloading'.And original movie frames order is edited by software autmatically.There is not any option to choose 'downloading original movie. 2.) Download speed is very much slow.it takes 30 an hour to download a 2-3 minutes movie. So should i use any other companies software,for downloading the original and clear movie.

And for fast download should i user FIREWIRE card. Please help me. Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 - 18:32 GMTHey everyone, Im having trouble with a JVC GR-DVL167EK camcorder and windows XP. The camcorder uses firewire and has woked fine on my old ME desktop using a firewire card i purchased and installed separately, but is not recognised by my newer XP laptop with a preinstalled firewire card. Im using the same firewire cable as I used with ME when the device worked fine. Also, I use the firewire port with my external hard drive, using the same cable as mentioned before, with no problems.

However, I cannot get XP to recognise my camcorder. I have all the software that came with the camcorder installed, along with MGI Videowave 5, the same software I used to successfully capture and edit videos with on ME. Also, the camcorder is still recognised, using the aforementioned cable and card, on my ME desktop. This leads me to the conclusion that the firewire cable, card and the camcorder are all working fine, so there must be a problem with XP. I have visited a number of message boards on the same topic and have tried many things to sort this including installing XP service pack 2, turning the camcorder into different modes before and during me being logged into XP and renaming files in windows. I have also checked my manual multiple times and have checked the JVC website but none of the downloads are of any help. If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated because this is beginning to annoy me slightly.

Posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 02:50 GMTWell, Folks.I just bought a JVC GR-D33U and got a firewire cable for it. I tried connecting it up to my 'new-ish' Gateway (eMachines) 816GM CPU running Windows XP with a built-in VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller.

The first couple of times I tried to capture video using the JVC-supplied Imagemixer 7.0 software and Windows Moviemaker, my computer recognized the camera as a 'generic' camcorder, and I could control the camera from the computer screen, but could not complete the capture.no video appeared on the software monitor, and after ending the capture session, I got an error message saying 'Video failed to capture properly' or something like that. After poking around the Internet and trying various fixes that didn't work, I found a post that recommended an IEEE 1394 'patch' to fix a recognition proble inherent in Windows SP2. I downloaded and installed the patch.
