Per the header, readers. I want to play video footage in the window where you'd usually display your webcam. I know Windows has a program called Fake Webcam etc ... and we have CamCamX ...

Ive downloaded the Demo version. Its good. It works. BUT its a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Its way over featured for what I want - mixing multiwindows/audio etc .. way over the top!.

And sixty dollars for a Serial Number? Thats way pricey for what it is.

So - the question is can I somehow connect a camcorder and play the footage thro Messenger etc ... or better - play back video files .... or is this just a dream? Via a Firewire connection perhaps .. can you get a cable that can convert USB to Firewire for a camcorder to be 'seen' as a webcam by MAC OS X?

I think we should be told! ANy help gratefully received

Ta

Bruce
