Want to use jvc camcorder as webcam

This will not work as webcam, since when you connect it to USB, it will be detected as external drive. No hardware inside that can support webcam function. Sorry

Try going to JVC website, check download & support
there you should be able to download the driver of the webcam.

firewire cable or driver for usb connection. Better luck is usually had via firewire.

well, to convert the file from your JVC, u have to use a tool to do this. here i recommend u Pavtube HD Converter which can convert mod, tod, mts, m2ts to many other regular format u want. and if u wanna a web cam, u have to find a specific one for web camming.

I fed the analogue output of the camcorder into a little VideoExpress box and thence to the USB input. Then I downloaded the free software Splitcam, and I now get the camcorder's output showing in the Skype screen. The next step is to find another Skype user to try it out with!

hello i am sandeep from india i have the driver file of jvc pc810 you can get it by sending your mail id on [email protected]

There is a program i heard of halled trackercam but for somereason it doesnt work with my jvc, im not sure why.

see if your camera has a USB. if it has then install the driver to your computer that camed with your camcorder. the drivers function is to allow the camcorder to use on your computer. insert the USB from your camcorder to your PC and now you can use it as a webcam. hope that helps!

Video streaming is possible with DV camcorders thanks to the Firewire port (IEEE1394), which works very much like a digital video in/out connection. Basically, the camera just sends video, and if there's a computer attached, it receives the video and decides what to do with it on a computer.

USB doesn't work that way, normally. Most tapeless camcorders automatically set up the webcam as a storage device, which is a very distinct thing from a video streaming device.  A storage device is just a disc of some kind... it will show up under some letter (eg, K:) in Windows, when you attach the camcorder.  

Some USB camcorders allow for a "webcam" or "streaming" mode... I didn't find any specifics on your JVC, but I know some of the Panasonics support this. There are two ways. One is that, if you have the camera in record/standby mode, it may just go automatically into webcam mode when you attach USB.

The other way is that the camera will have something in the menus, like "Live mode" or "Webcam mode" that instructs it to configure USB for video streaming rather than storage-class attachement.

And of course, some of the tapeless camcorders have a Firewire port, just like a DV camcorder, which is there specifically to allow for streaming video, etc. You could use your camcorder as a web camera over Firewire, given the proper software... though you might find that's just as expensive as buying
a webcam.

And given the price of actual webcams, I would consider buying one
rather than adding wear and tear to my camcorders, just based on 
price. This is the same  reason I have a DV tape rewind device.. $20 device, $2000
camcorder... easy math.
