Video audio assistant

[Jens Müller]

Hello,

the video audio assistant tells that my selected USB webcam does not
work correct or that it is in use by another program. This is not true.
If I try it with VitualDub it works.

What can I do?

Thank you!

Greetings Jens,

Although Messenger supports a wide variety of cameras, it is somewhat driver specific. Which
camera are you trying to use?

Terratec TerraCam USB. With all other programs it works all right. Why
does MSN not use twain for such cases?
