I'm running Windows XP Pro and when I set the camera to "PC Camera" I am able to use it as a webcam like on ustream.tv without any problems.

Running Windows XP, this works well as a webcam, but even on my hefty laptop (1.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM) I can't get 640x480 to stream at more than 24-25 fps. I think the MP4 encoding is CPU intensive in that it needs to decode it and re-encode it for streaming. I could be wrong though. Also, the USB connection on the camcorder is near the mount, so you can't mount the camcorder on a tripod flush since the cable connection would be in the way. I got around this by extending the tripod screw using a 1/4"-20 coupler and extension I bought at Lowe's for under $5. Now it isn't as stable, but good enough for most applications.

I was able to use it as a webcam a couple of times after I bought, but not any more. Probably a Windows update rendered the software incompatible and Sanyo hasn't bothered to release an update. There certainly is nothing on their website. At least I'd like an explanation.

Probably if you can get updated software from Logitech. It's a pretty old product. I purchased it years ago to work with XP. There has to be more current, good, reasonably priced cams available.

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

I can't get mine to work also. I tried install the software and just get errors. I can't find any support help either! Plus upset that cam in back is not working.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

Hello A PaekI've looked on the Olympus site, and can't find a VISTA driver for the VM-960PC recorder. Is there such a driver? I see the 64-bit version, but not the 32-bit, which is what I need. Thanks in advance...

I have had problems with using this monitor's webcam as well. I can't say it doesn't work, but I will say it works sporadically at best. Also, if there is a microphone in the array, that does not work, I have had to use an external microphone.

I just bought and set up a new PC w/W7 64bit. Had no problems with the online PSPPhotoIII from trial download. I havn't tried my older PSP9 yet because PSPPhoto has all the attributes of the older PSP9, in fact very much like it with a few added photo effect ops. I only know that I emailed another program maker NeatImage to see if I needed the 64bit version for my new W7 PC and he said no. W7 is so new there are some programs that aren't compatible, but you can ask the pc to correct back to a previous machine ie: Vista or XP on that particular program. They are also fdoing updates continuously to W7 to correct any bugs from previous software that isn't compatible yet. And it also depends on what PC you have w/7 on. Apparently HPs have some problems. It's still at the homework stage Jan 2010, but time will tell. I'd email corel or post on their forum.

I had this older webcam lying around, and decided to try and use it with Windows Vista. Downloaded the software from Logitech's website, and it does work on SKYPE! However, the video is a little 'jerky', and not up to modern webcam standards. But it does work! Audio from the built in mic sounds good.

Yes, the webcam comes with a CD to install the required drivers. After you install the drivers, just plug it in and you're good to go. Works with skype and everything else. I still use this webcam =)

Yes, but you need a separate program for it. I don't still have the disc for it (did it even come with a disc?) but Skype saw it as a normal webcam in Win7 64bit. I happened to try this out just yesterday.

Hello, I just bought the same exact eee pc that your referring to from best buy and mine has the little plastic piece over the webcam and I have not been able to get it to work. I dont think our model has the webcam. They should say that more clearly on the box because it totally appears as though it comes with the webcam. Hope this helped.

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

It probably is because most drivers are given to Microsoft so their automatic updating can supply everything. However, make it clear to the seller who is too lazy to spend an hour of so going through the Toshiba website. It's like my camcorder. It was made while XP was still an option for operating systems. It wouldn't work with windows 7 but after I hooked it up to my laptop, windows found it & the next time windows updated, a couple of framework updates & there, was my camcorder listed among the other updates. Just make sure that you can return it if it doesn't. Remember, you have the upper hand because the seller hasn't done the homework for the buyers.

Yeah, just bought this webcam and have the same problem with it not showing up in "My Computer." I

I just received and plugged this in. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. VLC worked for me after picking /dev/video1 as the capture device (/dev/video0 was the integrated webcam on the laptop). I also installed and ran the program called "cheese". It allowed me to capture pics and record video, although the video was very wavy as I moved the camera around. VLC had a wavy effect as well, but it wasn't as pronounced.

I am having major problems with this camera running under windows 7 32 bit version. Apparently this is a known issue with Logitech. When the drivers are installed, my system doesn't recognize or read or write to other periferals plugged into my other USB ports. But the strange thing is that the webcam worked well even though my system was unstable. Go Figure. I also get the "Blue Screen of Death" and a system dump every time I shut down the computer. The error log pointed to the webcam drivers. After uninstalling the drivers, all became stable again. I was able to recreate this issue every time I tried re-installing. I called Logitech tech support and got an incredibly unhelpful person who told me it was a known issue but not their problem and told me to call Microsoft. I did call Logitech back again and got a support person who seemed to want to be helpful but wasn't. I'm returning it.
