The first method of turning a camcorder into a Webcam is also the cheapest, and you can't get any cheaper than free. Some camcorders, like the trusty Panasonic GS70, have a USB connection for a "Webcam" mode. Connecting the camcorder to the USB port will temporarily convert the camcorder into a Webcam of sorts.
The process is two-fold. First, you must install a USB camera driver that came with the camcorder. If you have lost the CD, then you can go to the manufacturer's site and find it. After installing the driver, you have to set the camcorder into Webcam mode. The technique will vary from camcorder to camcorder, as explained in the owner's manual.
The Panasonic Webcam was displayed as "Panasonic DVC Web Camera" on all the major Webcam programs such as Active Webcam and Yahoo Messenger.

The picture quality was pretty poor and looked about the same as the Creative Webcam Live! in the Webcam shootout.

I wowuld like to try to use this but cant see how to hook my cam to computer I havew a JVC GZ-HD3 thanks Richard
thanks for the article. it proved to be quite useful. I even purchased the WebcamDV software.
i'm having a problem with my Sony DCR-PC5 though. I have it connected via Firewire. the image I get on my computer is squished vertically, meaning everything looks fatter than it should be. It's not due to any settings on the camera, there are only a few anyways.
do you know of any software or drivers or something that might help fix the problem I am having? thanks a lot for your help.
I have a Sony DCR-TRV 103. I just went to Staples, bought the 1394 Fire Wire, and the Fire Wire PCI Card for about $32 each. Windows XP recognized it immediately and I am on board, see you on YouTube.
I am looking fo info on how to use my sony ccdtr23 as a webcam.It has rca plugs.Thank you in advance
I've recently tried the freeware program, SplitCam.
Which is excellent! It not only converts my camcorder to a webcam, but even allows you to stream a playlist of video files to your webcam viewer. One tip, if you find tearing on fast movement, tick the option for Filter->Deinterlace which solves that perfectly.
