USB recording via ExtraWebcam or similar... at DVinfo.net

Hi guys,

While I was waiting for my CF Card to arrive I´ve started looking into ways of testing the MarkII by recording via USB. I´ve downloaded a program called "Extra Webcam" (extrawebcam.com - turn your Canon digital camera into webcam for video conferencing and more) that allows you to record directly from the camera via USB. I was able to select 24p and a couple of other options but the resolution I´ve got was 1024 X 680 (every 30 seconds I was getting more or less a 150mb file) . I was thinking that if such a simple little program allows to do this, then there must be others that allow you much more control. And if there isn´t it doesn´t look like a very hard thing for a programmer to do (bare in mind I´m not a programmer and this is just an assumption).
