Anyone got their FX1000 working as a webcam? (Skype?)
Hi there.
Using Win/7/64bit. Sony Vegas Pro 10 - 64bit. Wanna use the FX1000 to teach guitar online using Skype. Is this possible? Have tried a driver called Dvdriver from Trackercam, but I don't think it's Win64 friendly. No success. Any other way of getting Skype to see the IEEE (Firewire) input? Thanks in advance, Martin Barret |

Another thought - maybe firewire to usb converter?
A firewire to USB input converter. Has anyone tried such a thing and would it work (do you think) on a feed from the Sony FX1000?
Thoughts? Please & Thanks! Martin |

i might be totally wrong (i usually am), but wouldn't the output from the fx take up too much bandwidth?
i though skype type cameras were pretty basic / minimal affairs.... |

Yeah, but imagine the results!!!
What if you COULD use the FX1000 (and/or other high def prosumer cams) for Skype - awesome resolution and image. I'm thinking even the fastest computer would struggle, I realize. But what if you could constrict the proportions to accommodate bandwidth issues - make the video coming in size down to a smaller frame.

It works for me. I'm on a mac, plugged the FX1000 in via firewire and selected the cam in the preferences. There's an annoying lag but it looks great.
