Can I use a video cam as a webcam?... how?

The documentation that came with the camera should tell you if this is possible.  I have a Casio QV-R40 digital camera that I've tried using as a webcam.  It came with a USB cord so I can transfer the pictures and video I record with it (no sound), but I primarily use my SD card anyway.  I've tried looking for software and downloading firmware updates for the camera, but nothing worked.  Webcams are generally inexpensive anyhow.  \nHope you find out.  Good luck.

you will need to plug a mic into the back of your PC or get a usb mic. most web cams come with inbuilt mic. go to the help option in audacity to read the tutorials.

it should be a plug and play, if not the cd should have an option for driver install only.  check the manual, or find out what kind of webcam it is and download the drivers yourself and skip the whole installing the program part.

You can't hook up a normal Camcorder to a computer and use it as a web cam. The camcorder must either hook up via Fire Wire or USB in order to use it as a webcam. \n\nIf you want to use a older camcorder you must purchase either a video transfer board or a video card that allows video input.

I think you have to use an external software.  CamGrab-2+ is one option.

You'll have to give more information that that.  What type of cam... what do you mean by download?  Do you mean you're trying to install the software and it is giving errors?  Are you trying to download the software from the internet and cannot?\n\nList what you're trying to do and on what operating system and someone should be able to help you out...\n\nLater!

It all depends on the camera and connectivity. Many do not. I would just advise you to spend $20 bucks and go out and buy a webcam if you want one.

You can use Windows Movie Maker with your cam to make a video.  It comes standard with Windows XP.  If you mean recording someone else's video then that I don't know how to do.  Hope this is helpful.

There is nothing in the specs or manual that refer to using it as a webcam.

what are you talking about?\ni think you need your webcam software. if you don't have it go to drivers.com or go to the webcams site and get the driver.

there is a nifty program called "webcamxp"\nit will run it's own http server, and pull data from your webcam.\nit's pretty nifty.\nalso, there is http://stickam.com which has a flash client that you can embed into your website. stickam relays what you send to them, so it's less intensive on your network, and you don't have to open any ports

It is only possible in some cases. Your web cam has to be connected and working in the first place and you have te have an internet connection... There is a program that allows you to watch the camera and even have audio. But it has to be smuggled into your computer first. The program that does that is a clone of the sub7. I did get it myself by a p2p program. That program only works with msn messenger and yahoo messenger, if the instant messenger isn't protected by a good virus scanner, and the file/printer sharing is on.\nIf you really want to be sure no one is watching....just plug the web cam and microphone off !

You are going to use like boardcast or video creation. I think a web cam is not suitable for your situation. Because Webcam resolution is not very good. I suggest that you buy those digital DV(Digital Handy Cam) if your buget is OK.\n\nd10v01b

You need a web cam and normally you will get a cd with drivers as well as other programs.\nWhen its installed you will find you can download other programs that will work with the web cam.\nSome Web cams Like some  Intel web cams will run atomatically with XP so there was need for drivers for the Intel Web cams.
