Questions Relating to DVdriver

Any recommendations on software to help me use my camcorder with my PC?

Detailed Question:

I just bought a new DV camcorder and was noticing that it has a Firewire connector. Is there a good way to use this with my computer? The computer has a Firewire port but just plugging in the camcorder doesn't do much. I guess I was wondering if there's a way to just use the camcorder as if it were a webcam and kill two birds with one stone.

Answer:

You need a small, clever program called DVdriver. You can download the trial version for free and the full version is just $20. With DVdriver running and your camcorder connected to your computer's Firewire port, you can use your camcorder with any software that will work with a USB webcam: MSN Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, NetMeeting, etc. Any webcam software will work with your camcorder. DVdriver works by making the camcorder appear to Windows to be a regular USB webcam. You can download the trial version from: www.trackercam.com/download So, download DVdriver, give it a try and enjoy using your camcorder as a super-charged webcam with all your favorite software.
