What driver should I use? I plugged this in, lit up briefly, and then goes off. Software says that I have no video collection device.

I am using Windows 7 on my PC. I am using the disk that came with the camera. The file is called amcap.exe. I put in the disk, click on the file, and it starts right up without any issue. On the mac it is the mixscope software.

Install the software on the included disc. DON'T get it wet, it's not waterproof as advertised!!

I loaded the software that came with camera into a Dell Windows 7 machine. Started amcap.exe. Plugged the camera into a USB port and it worked fine.

You must have some type of video playback software on your computer...I know it works with Windows 7 and Microsoft's Mediaplayer or similar software.

I had to play around with my pc settings for the camera. I have a built in camera and just had to switch it to recognize the device. A few times in the past I need to have the program disk in my pc, probably because it doesn't seem to say installed on its own. And I would need it again now if I wanted to use it..

When you plug in the camera Win 7 loaded the driver for me. It came up with a Microsoft Driver from 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.17514. The file it uses is usbvideo.sys buried in the drivers directory. I copied the app to a dir and opened it went to preview and the picture came up in the window. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the help, I'm going nuts trying to get this to work. It will play the video with cable I got from RadioShack but won't record. I don't think the one I have is bilingual, so this is my last option.Thanks again!

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

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.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

I had the exact same issue. I downloaded the following driver (rsCap1.1) and it worked fine (I don't know the original site that I downloaded it from but this looks legitimate). http://www.21best.com/21_best/electronic/security/video/cameras/inspection/icam-59-color.html (follow the link mid-way down the page)

should be pretty plug n' play. Maybe it's defective. Try a youtube tutorial. Good luck!

Sounds like it may be defective, mine has a faint light when it is working. Check to see if files are transferring.

Same green line issue for me. Tried the above and it didn't work. Unplugged everything, tried new cables etc., verified I had the latest software and still no joy. Called Philips and of course they were clueless (Do you have a 1080p TV?) and unhelpful other than to steer me to service centers that when asked wouldn't service this device. If anyone actually solved this problem please post how you did it.

plugged my in and it automatically set itself up. I have Win 7 ultimate. My cam worked fine right from the start. Good luck

Sounds like you are connected with a component video cable and you either have the cable connected incorrectly or you are using a bad cable.

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

Did you uninstall all previous Video Drivers? Also start out with a simple VGA cable. Make sure you are direct connect with VGA cable computer to monitor.

I would call the company & try to get another one, or just buy another system. I record my video on my desktop computer. Much easier to work with, never look at my recorder video.

you need to download the projector's driver to your computer, so your laptop can recognize it, I just dont know where to find the driver, i want to know too.

Hi Justin, I have one of these gadgets but once I installed it and used it, it worked fine and I have not had any issues with the driver, I wish I could be of more help, good luck

I'm surprised you got video! the one I bought won't do anything! Well it turns on but nothing else. I would look for a better cam.
