I'm wondering whether it's possible to use a DV camcorder as a webcam. I just downloaded the latest Yahoo chat client and I'd like to try out the webcam feature. I already own a Canon ZR30 DV camcorder and don't really feel like spending money on a webcam. If it's just not possible, any good suggestions on a OS X compatible webcam?
I've done it before with my Sony TRV-30. just turn the camera on, plug it in via firewire, and launch your webcam program. It should be an available video source, listed as Firewire DV or something similar.
