I occasionally use a Panasonic camcorder as my webcam. I have only been able to broadcast in the small image size. If I switch to large image, the image shows for a second, then tiles into many images, then the screen goes all green. If I switch back to small, it works fine again. Any ideas as to what I can do to use the large image size.
Thanks
I would sugguest while broadcasting go in and mess with the Cam settings. Do this from the Cam window click File then Preferences then when that window opens move it so you can see your Cam box and then click Camera Setting and when that box opens up move it so you can see your Cam and then mess with the setting. Good Luck!!
If this is unproductive, I would suggest that it is an issue with either the cam’s driver, or its perception of the bandwidth of your connection.
If you installed the cam software from shrink-wrap, I almost guarantee that it’s at least 3/4 of a year outdated. Go to their website and get the latest for your OS (AND your specific cam) as a start.
If you have a low-bandwidth connection to the internet, that may also be an issue. Some drivers do not even allow what they know they cannot achieve (although you MIGHT be able to exchange a lower frame-rate for image size).
Let us know …
Thanks for the suggestions. So far, no luck. I’ve tried different settings, and I am using a driver from the Panasonic web site. I am connecting via 56k modem, so may that is the problem.
I may try reinstalling Messenger software or trying the Beta version of the new Messenger. Otherwise, if you have any other suggestions, I’ll take em!
Thanks,
TMKA program called DVdriver, available at http://www.trackercam.com, lets you feed your camcorder’s video to any program designed to work with a webcam. It lets you easily choose how big you want the video image to be.
