Camcorder as web cam?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you can use a camcorder as a web cam. My video card (Gainward Geforce3 VIVO) has video-in ports. Is this even possible? If so, how would you set it up?

Thanks ahead.
 
Not sure of programs that will do it for you , but you could always just plug the camcorder in, capture some stills, and then upload those still pictures to your website.
 
Yes you can do it and it looks a TON better than a crappy webcam. do a search for it I think Dazzle has a way to do it and there is another that will host for free I forgot though. I did it with my JC miniDV cam on Firewire and it looked great. You should be able to run to the card ok but might not look as good as firewire. Everyone should go Firewire and MiniDV for camcorders!!!!
