Using my older vid cam as a web cam
I have a sony DCR-TRV20 video camera, it has a s-video out port and I want to
use it as a web cam. Is this possible? It is the older 8mm type of tape recorder. What software or freeware is available? Can windows media or movie maker do this? Thanks MB |

If you don't, you will have to install a capture card or use an external capture device such as Pinnacles Dazzle USB external capture device, a cheaper option than a capture card or external device is to just buy a basic USB webcam. If you are confident your PC has an S-Video capture input - but don't confuse with your graphics cards S-Video out, ensure you have a capture card. To configure..depends what you will be using it for?
