Re: FAO PapaJohn et al - Webcam & Vista WMM

From WMM2.6 help...

Why am I unable to import video from my Web camera or analog video source?
Import Video does not support importing video from a Web camera or analog video source such as a VCR. To use video from your Web camera, you can use the software that comes with the camera to record the video to your computer.

Guess I was right after all...

That's what I thought - I am being told the contrary in the general ng, and have no working webcam to test just now...

my rule of thumb for Vista's Movie Maker is 'none' for all editions.... but that doesn't mean you can't do it in Vista with other apps.

Is it true that the WMM supplied with some editions of Vista can capture direct from any webcam?

Or just some, or none?
