I am having problems with both webcamdv and dvdriver. I have tried and tried and neither company will respond to my cries for help. You can pay for it if you want but there is no support for these two programs. Be warned. I really need a good program to use a firewire camcorder with skype.

The support email for webcamdv keeps bouncing. Apparently too many problems for them to deal with. DVdriver support haven't returned my emails. Probably a similar problem here. Are there any free software programs out there that can do this? I'm sure not going to pay for something with no support. thanks I am having trouble with both webcamdv and dvdriver.

Livestream has a good idea with the router pack and all, but it could be so much more simple. I'm all for Sony & Verizon teaming up for the first, ever, fully functioning live-stream professional camera - on the 4G network.... say bye to studio reporting, Hello World. Maybe we'll even have a network just for people trying to make a difference??? That would rock.

I use my samsung camcorder to stream via ustream.tv. It works great!! Is there a way I can keep the camcorder from shutting off? I've taken out the battery and have it plugged in to 110, thinking this would disable power saving feature. Looked in the menus but find no place to disable this. I appreciate anything you have to help me.! Hey, great post. I use my samsung camcorder to stream via ustream.tv. It works great!! Is there a way I can keep the camcorder from shutting off?
