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 using another program to solve the problem, especially not if I've gotta pay for it. 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?
