How do you get it to recognize a camcorder. Mine works with Skype and MovieMaker, but in X6 the capture for both camcorder and DV are greyed out.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

Hi, I just bought the LifeCam VX-5000 and I have the same problem as Bonnie above. Could anyone tell me what version of windows and what version of skype they are using? I just want to get this to work. Thanks!

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Hi. I haven't tested it with that camcorder but am confident it will work and communicate fine. In the past there were batteries that were not decoded that would be rejected as yours did, but now the batteries are intelligent. Just like the one being sold.

Brandon, We did get it to work with my camera, but it did not work for video which is why I bought it in the first place. So, I can't recommend it.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

Hi Joe,I had a previous Sony camcorder with AVCHD compatibility and I was able to convert the file to a MOV. file with no problem. I don't recall off-hand how I did that, though. With the Canon, I wasn't able to see any footage in AVCHD if I plugged in the SD card. Other users might have had better luck than me. There might be a way to convert the footage so it works in iMovie. I'm sure there are apps on the Internet that might work. I hope this helps. Thanks.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Go to this website and follow the directions. It works I had the exact same problem with it recording for 1 second and then stopping. Up date the firmware. http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17501/~/kodak-playsport-video-camera-zx3-firmware---windows-operating-systems/selected/true

Well if you got the cam to work period with windows 7 you did good. I have yet to get the cam to even work like my other cams. Works best as a dummy cam. You get what you pay for and it's junk.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

IT WORKS! Thanks so much to L. Rabbit, Ben, and Victor for getting me on track. The D-Link Skype adapter is working using USRobotics drivers! Who would have thunk it? Your help is much appreciated. Fran

I just read that the .MOD extension of the JVC can be changed to .MPG for recognition by Windows Media Player and should work with other software since it is a standard format. (You can do this by copying the file onto your PC, right clicking and renaming. With this extension you should be able to burn to a DVD. I am interested in purchasing this camcorder but will NOT do so if I have to purchase extra software. If someone tries this, please let me know if you are successful. JVC appears to receive much better reviews than Sony other than the burning issues. The article I read can be found at http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-12-06-camcorder-hard-drives_x.htm.

We have a 58 inch Viera TV and the camera only worked partially. It would freeze or not work at all and seemed to get worse over a period of day. Not sure if it was the camera or Skype but it did not work sufficiently well to keep, so we returned the camera. Skype seems to work fine in our house with either a Kindle, smart phone or computer, so we think it is the integration in the camera and since that is its only use for the camera we sent it back.
