Hello,
I have a working broadcaster and receiver swf app that works fine using a USB
logitech web camera.
HOWEVER, I need to use a DV camera instead for a higher res image.
*I have my sony DCR-PC1 connected to the pc with firewire.
*The video DOES show in the windows explorer when I click on the DV cam device.
*The selection for the DV camera DOES appear in the settings panel in
broadcaster.swf
* It CAN be selected but the video will NOT show, when I switch it from the
USB cam

Please Help with your knowlege
Regards

I have the same problem. There seem to be some issues with windows xp service
pack 2 but i also tried it with win xp service pack 1, windows 2000 and fedora
core 3. And on all systems the usb camera works just fine but the firewire
connected camera (jvc) did not. The firewire cams works great with other
applications besides flash (at this moment).

Hope there is someone out there who can assist.

Ok , Here is What I did To Make My Sony Dv Cam Work with Service Pack 2....
1 Before You Install Service pack 2, Copy from
Windows\system_32\Drivers\Ks.sys and Stream.sys and Msdv.sys
Save to Tempory Directory
2 Install Service Pack 2
3 Turn Off System File Protection
4 Copy The Files You save to tempory Directory to Windows/System_32\Drivers
Overwriting the Service Pack 2 Ones
5 Turn Back On System File Protection
This Worked For Me .....

Also Macromedia Is Aware of this problem... They Decided to not fix it until
the new Flash Player 8.0 is released .. This information was from Macromedia
To me during a phone Conversation... I Have asked to become a beta Test site
for the new Flash 8.0 player witch should be released late summer and will be
sure to check for they problem !!!
