DVCam ---> Webcam
basically... I've got a Sony DVCam, but i wanna use it as webcam... cos my Logitech USB one is crap... My sony DVCam is connected via Firewire...
So far i've found a program called WebcamDV... buts it pretty crap... does wot i want it to, but "crack" only lets it run in trial mode continously, but not any other dewcent functions... does anyone know of any other similar software for using a DV Cam as a webcam???

Well, you're obviously not out of money to buy a DV camera. 
Come on, it's only £20 at most. Surely that's a small price to pay for an app you find useful?

Re: DVCam ---> Webcam
Just beware that when using it as a webcam, it does not flatten the batteries.
I had an (albiet cheap & crappy) digicam that if left on as webcam, the batteries got flattened.

I have used my Jenoptic 2.1 as a webcam, I'm sure it powers from the usb lead, and I used msn to ' chat '
As for free progs, there are places to look, if you know what I mean

Not quite webcam, but if you have a Mac, then Quicktime Broadcaster is fun to play with and free to download:
