I've been trying for some time to get my DV Camera (a
Sony DCR-PC120E) to act as a webcam in MSN Messenger 6.
It's connected to my laptop via Firewire and I know it's
working properly because Windows Explorer gives me a
preview of the video when I click on the Sony DV
Camcorder icon.
MSN Messenger 6 says that "either the webcam is not
connected properly or is in use by another program". I
believe that a background process is using the camera
(Windows Explorer always runs in the background, right?)
Is there any way to get MSN Messenger 6.1 to use my DV
camera as a webcam in conversations?
Thanks in advance.
