Hey all,

I've been doing some googling and research, but not coming up with any good specific answers. Do you guys know how or if there exists a better way to use a video camera as a webcam, or if there is a better webcam product with some zoom capability. I need to use this in a theatre facility with SKYPE. Thanks,


David

Ya, I already know about trackercam..... It Sucks. Used it before, and it was a pain to use.

What you need is a video capture card that supports WDM (Windows Driver Model)...

Hauppauge Win-TV works fine.
