> Heya all.
> I've encountered a few problems when trying to use my camcorder (JVC
> GR-D250) as a webcam via a Firewire port (in MSN).
> It's not that it doesn't work as a webcam, it's just that it doesn't
> work properly. The camera's functioning fine, the colours are correct
> and everything, its just that when I actually try and use it in a video
> conversation or to start sending my webcam the image it shows is zoomed
> in, showing just a small area of what's actually on the camera screen.
> Okay, so the strangest part of all this is that when I look at my
> camcorder in 'Scanners and Cameras' or in the built-in 'Audio and Video
> setup..' function of MSN, the screen size is normal and it shows
> exactly what I see on the LCD screen of my camera, not just the small
> zoomed in/cropped area.
> Now, I know there's a lot of threads about this all over the internet,
> as I've been reading as much as I can to try and find a solution,
> however, they all talk about using programs, such as DVdriver, or
> webcamDV as a bypass sort of funtion to solve this problem, and, I've
> tried it. They both work, it's just that I'd rather not go about by
> using another program to solve the problem, instead I'd rather figure
> out why it's not working and see if there's any way to fix it...

> Anyone got any ideas or know what's up?
