Heya everybody.

I've got a firewire digital video camera on a ::cough:: long time loan from a friend of mine.

Can this camera be used as a web cam? Photos aren't really the issue here...but can video be streamed with it?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If this isn't possible...anyone got any suggestions for a dirt cheap USB web cam?

i have a panasonic dv cam, i use that as a webcam. i haven't streamed from it, but it's fine as a still cam. i use CoolCam and the thing is just too cpu intensive to leave on all the time, while i'm working. if you can hook it up to a machine you're not working on, then go for it. i'd like to hear how you get on...

Yep, it works like a charm. It should also be able to stream too using something like iVisit or another similar type of video/audio conferencing software.

Thank ya.
