don't know how to access inbuilt camera
Hi
I have Windows Vista Business and a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ19VN. I have an inbuilt webcam (motion eye). The webcam works - it automatically comes up when I do skype calls. My question is whether I can use the camera for video recordings that I do independently from skype and how to access my camera. |

Certainly. But like anything else you need programs. Skype is obviously
one which you have. If your computer did not include other programs that use the webcam, then google and see what else is out there. There are a lot of nifty apps that can use it. I googled on "webcam software" and got some really impressive stuff, like Camtasia. "Susanne" wrote in message news Hi I have Windows Vista Business and a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ19VN.

Hi, I have an HP laptop. To access the webcam - All
ProgramsQuickplayMusic, Video, Pictue(2nd option from left). Then in the 'source' column you should see the webcam which you select and use to make stills or video. Hope this helps.

My question is whether I can use the camera for video recordings that I do independently from skype and how to access my camera. ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Manuals/...1/FZ1_H_EN.pdf is the manual for your system. It specifically says on Page 34 that the program will NOT work with Windows Movie Maker software so you will need to find out what program Sony put on the computer to allow you to use it for video capture. If you can't find a program on your computer to run the video capture from your web camera, you should Google for "Free video capture" and try some of the shareware to see if any will operate your computer's camera. My HP computer came with a program (CyberLink YouCam) that allows both instant messaging over the internet or video capture to the hard drive as a file. Works really well with my hardware and they have a free trial at www.cyberlink.com and click on the YouCam program at the lower left. Hope this helps, let us know |

Camtasia is probably the best if you need to record demos, presentation or
tutorial based videos. I have it on my machine and find it extremely useful.
