check the manual of your digital camera.

Ok i will do that when i get home. When I am home and have looked, i will let you know, but if it helps any, my camera did not come with video software.

I skimmed it, and unless i misread, i do not see nanything about the software. Does anyone know of a free trial run or something i can download? like a video webcam thing? its for a jvc video camera, if that helps

Does your digital camera support video? or able to take shots from computer (controlled by computer when connected).

Check if there's any mention about that. Third party software won't work if the digital camera can't have such feature.

Hey all. I checked my manual. I can't find anything. Is there such thing is an adapter to go from RCA (video,(yellow) left and right audio (red and white) to convert to USB? If so, i can do it that way, but does anyone have some sugestions for some programs i could try to see if it works??
Thanks in advance
