| 499452 | 2006-11-15 19:49:00 | Wondering if I can use the VIVO feature of my PowerColor Radeon 9600 XT Bravo as a webcam in programs like MSN etc... Msn doesn't detect anything, is there a program I can get that will help msn recognize it? has anyone else done it? or is it not possible? |

A Vivo is most probably thru a video input/output on a videocard. So, the driver for the card would have to somehow have an ID string in it, to support a webcam. |

| 499456 | 2006-11-16 10:54:00 | It's odd because I used to have an Avermedia ez-capture PCI capture card - which showed up under MSN. I figured the VIVO might do the same thing, being effectively just another capture device. The problem is you can't really hook up an external video source to a USB webcam - unless it's a really expensive one I suppose, which is not really what I want - If i could get the VIVO to do it, that would be much more suitable |

| 499457 | 2006-11-16 11:39:00 | There is a seperate driver for the Video In if I remember correctly. On the AMD/ATI website after you select your OS and Product etc click on the link under "Optional Downloads" - the driver you want is the one called "WDM Intergrated Driver". After you install this your card should be available in capture programs as a capture device. If you have already done this - disregard this post. :) |

| 499458 | 2006-11-16 19:11:00 | I downloaded the 3 in one driver which includes the basic video driver, catalyst control center and the WDM driver... it shows up in device manager, nero, windows movie maker, virtualdub etc... I guess MSN just doesn't like it. Is there a program that could emulate a webcam??? (from another video source) |
