Turn your Mini DV camcorder into a Webcam


Are you fed up with the video quality of your webcam and looking for the alternative? I found this software from Orangeware, which provides the firewire driver to attach to the IM software. Most of the camcorder manufacturers provides the USB driver for turning the camcorder as webcam. But only the firewire video streaming gives the best video quality. But all the IM's relies on USB for the videoconferencing. So this software tricks the streaming firewire video to be available for the most of the available IM software.


Also this software provides the remote control of the camcorder for the remote viewers.


I spent lot of time researching the webcams for best video quality and zoom, but now i think i should buy affordable(below $250) miniDV camcorder and use it as a webcam.




Tom's hardware also has the good article about this..
