Panasonic PV-GS12 Windows 2000 Pro
I have been looking EVERYWHERE... the advice in the second reply worked for me with a firewire connection and through Yahoo IM.
Just thought I would offer my comment in return for the great advice... thanks all.

Hi,
I have a Sharp VL-SD20U MiniDV digital camcorder
(the model is about 3-4 years old) that I would like to use as a webcam on my computer. The camcorder has both a firewire (IEEE-1394) and an S-video connector. I read somewhere that using the S-video connection should work, but it seems that I would first need to install the camcorder on the PC. The problem is that the video (editing) software that came with the camcorder is for Windows 98, and my OS is Windows XP Pro. Sharp's website is no help in getting a driver that will work with Windows XP. And I haven't been able to find a driver anywhere else either.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to get this camcorder to work as a webcam in Windows XP?
Thanks |

i have problems with installing the webcam driver for nv-gs-15 as it is compatible only with Windows xp, and I use Win-98. Is it possible to get the driver software for the same, compatible to Win-98? As I can see, many other users are also complaining of the driver software, even with Win xp! What's the way out? |

Hiya, you need to uninstall the usb and wecam driver software. All you need is to set your camera to webcam under the usb device. Connect it to u'r PC and windows will pic it up. You need to run Windows XP SP1 though. |

I bought a Panasonic NV Gs 15. I have tried desperately to download my recordings in the form of Video form the camera. The s/w provided with the DVC, allows us to only produce still photos while playing back the tape. I have also tried to connect the DVC as a web cam but it simply wont work.
What surprises me is that the model with the above features is being advertised and sold around the globe. But there seems to be very less support to resolve user problems.
If any one can HELP me with instructions to download Video and use the NV GS15 as a Web Cam please mail me at ruggs1@rediffmail.com.
Any help is appreciated.

A simple method is to get a TV card with S-Video input. I found the whole process of recording from miniDv and also using it as a webcam quite simple. It is my recommendation to get a V-gear TV card or similar. |

I have a Panasonic NV GS 15 DVC. I have tried to use the "Colour Night View" feature while recording in bad light. I noticed that the camera takes longer to focus on the object. While shootong still pictures it works well, but if we shoot a moving object like a "playing baby" or any similar thisn, the result obtained is blurd. Please let me know, if this feature works this way or am I using this in-correctly. |

Hi
Its amazing to see that nobody has a solution for the problem of transporting Video from Panasonic NV-GS15 to a PC.
The CD that comes with the camera is useless for this purpose and is only geared for still pictures and webcam. If anyone has a solution please email me. |

I've got a Panasonic NV-GS 11 camcorder. Everything is fine with except for the webcam function. The camera is set on "webcam", the USB cable is connected, and the USB Driver and Webcam Driver are both installed. I have gone onto Windows Messenger to use it but I only get a black screen. Do I need to use the Firewire connection? No Firewire cable was supplied with the camera. Please help |

mia,
what kind of webcam is it and what is your operating systme. Do you have any idea why the webcam failed?
Did you have to re-install the operating system(OS)? |

For those trying to use the Panasonic GS15 as a webcam, you have to tell the camera to act as a webcam (rather than for video editing). Press the MENU button, select CAMERA, USB FUNCTION and set it to WEB CAMERA. This worked for me, and I also had to use the USB cable rather than the DV cable. |

"For those trying to use the Panasonic GS15 as a webcam, ..."
Actually, the GS15 comes with the drivers and software needed to make the model work. From page 47 of the technical manual; "PV-GS9/PV-GS12/PV-GS14 : Optional Software"
(Image removed from post but inserted on my webpage at http://www.davidfrancis.us )
Page 50 kind of spells it out, the camera does in fact work with MS Messenger without any additional drivers. As for Yahoo? eh no.
Since I posted here more than a year ago, I have to say that I am pleased with the camera but very disappointed with Panasonics support. I doubt I will buy another one.
This seems to be a very popular topic because I'm still getting traffic at my site from here... I wonder if Panasonic would bother to address this issue? |

Hi
I have a JVC D270, XP sp2, and I never had any problem in exporting video or recognizing the camera in windows.
I tried using it as webcam and, with MS Messenger, it works partially: I get video, but I can't use the cam mic. Until some days ago it showed an option in Messenger 7 wizard (I also tried 7.5), but after messing with alternative DV drivers, it disappearead.
I tried Orangeware's WebcamDV & DVDriver, but with no success.
Also, why does Messenger send outside a zoomed and cropped image?
Can someone help me?
Thanks |
