Hello, hope this is the right place to Post.
I've got a JVC miniDV Camcorder, which has no native support to work as a "Webcam" (at least, I couldn't find any drivers or stuff). Exact Model Number would be GR-D245E.
Well, so I ran extensive searches and came up with a few programs which could help me. Apart from that MSN Messenger has built in Support for Camcorders, this wouldn't work for other applications (like Net Meeting). So i tried out dvdriver, which basically works great, but missed an important feature, which on the other hand, webcamdv would have, but I couldn't get it to work properly.
The point is, I not only want to have the video taken from the Camcorder, but also the Audio! WebcamDv has the Feature (after installation I can set WDM Audio as Capture Device in Audio Properties, but it will only work when the Video Driver is loaded as well). And here comes the tricky stuff: WebcamDV is the ONLY (!) utility I used which would mess video completely up. It's just useless and there is no apparent way to get it better.
Since I could use either dvdriver or TrackerCam (which is for free!) to get the video into Netmeeting or other Applications, I found none to do the same with the Audio. Is there ANY "capture audio from camcorder microphone wdm driver" out there apart from the webcamdv one, which I can't use?
Help would be very much appreciated,
best regards, cmw
