How would you hook up the HV30 to use it as a web cam? Would that be possible? Or would it be better just to buy a dedicated Web cam?

Just set your DV output on the camera to 'DV Lock' and plug it into your computer using a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable and select it as an input. I've used my HV20 in Skype, iChat, and web based flash webcam apps. Tony Gieske April 25th, 2008, 02:16 PM thanks for your prompt reply, wes.... looks like it would work. the idea is to shoot myself --- ah, no --- videograph myself introducing a slideshow or a web video and splice it into the product. im finding it hard to picture the steps, though David Ruhland July 24th, 2008, 02:37 PM I am trying to set it up to work with SKYPE. I must be doing something wrong. CAn you help? do i need to be in CAMERA mode or PLAY mode? Card or tape? I set my OUTPUT to DV Lock...
