Hi Alexander.

You should be able to use my directshow video input object with the webcam.

Just give it a shot:

  Hello. I'm trying to use the pix_video object with a creative usb webcampro on win2000. I'm using gem 0.87. 

  it doesn't work. When I create the object I het the popup window, select the webcam, I get "pix_video: driver 'creative webcam pro <VFW>'"

  but then "error: GEM: pix_videoNT: Unable to connect to video driver."

  Is the driver just not supported, am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to configure the pix_video object so that this works?

  in february, Daniel Heckenberg wrote:
  Pix_video under NT is rather particular about how it tries to configure the
  capture device... It also doesn't support DV cameras because such devices
  aren't exposed to VideoForWindows.

  I'll post some (alpha) video input objects which I've written for NT which
  provide a bit more functionality.  There's one for VideoForWindows and
  another for DirectShow which does allow DV devices to be used.

  Is it possible that this webcam would work with your input object?

  What else should I try?

  thanks for help.
