Hi,
I can use my Sony DCR-PC100 with WinXP using a ieee=20
(firewire) connection to play video with MS Movie Maker.
But as soon as I want to use ma camera as a web cam. MSN=20
Messenger v.6 (latest) doesn't work with the camcorder. =20
And the worst thing is during the "Audio and Video Tuning=20
Wizard" of MSN Messenger (under tools) after=20
selecting "Sony DV Device" in the list of camera. I can=20
see myself in the the next panel where I can adjust the=20
camera. But as soon as I finish the wizard and try to=20
start a video conference (or a web cam) I received this=20
error:
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Your conversation cannot begin because your camera is=20
currently in use or not plugged in. Make sure your camera=20
is available and try again.
=20
Technical problems prevent you from having a webcam=20
conversation at this time. Please try again later.
=20
You have canceled your invitation to start viewing webcam.
=20
You have stopped viewing webcam with XXX.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
And of course my camera is working fine and I'm not=20
stoping the webcam or using it somewhere else.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
