USB Camcorder as Webcam

Posted by Ddave_73 on 09/05/2008 at 04:32:54 am in Tekzilla

I have used my old sony digital 8 usb cam with webcam xp pro for years with no problems.

I just made sure the sony usb drivers were installed and everything worked out of the box, you can record with webcam xp pro unless I am mistaken.

My first web site

Oy. Is there really any such thing as Front Page now ? No.

Newsgroups, fill me in.

In terms of text discussions, use forums instead (as mentioned above). ISPs know about the illegal binaries, but as a provider, they try not to touch it in order to protect themselves from libel and whole load of other legal problems. You should probably stay away from using them for binaries, there's too much pressure being placed on ISPs for access to their log files.

Windows Server 2003 r2

Posted by binkocd on 09/04/2008 at 10:05:47 am in Tekzilla

Thanks, I wasn't sure, we bought one round and there was just the standard 2003 and then we bought a second round and it came with r2, I just didn't know if there was anything special about it, you know how microsoft can be. Thanks again.

Tekzilla Daily Suggestion: Firefox related

Posted by belovedmonster on 09/03/2008 at 12:30:46 pm in Tekzilla

I don't know if this has already been covered (there doesn't seem to be a way to search past episodes on the Tekzilla website), but I just astounded a friend of mine by showing them the Mycroft website *link*

Since the Firefox browsers inbuilt "Get More Search Engines" just takes you to the Firefox Ad-on page where there isnt really any search engines I would imagine that there are a hella lot of people who are totally unaware that they can add pretty much any search engine they like to Firefox. In fact I think Firefox is pretty much failing in this department.

So how about a Daily episode about it?

how to hook a video camera to a tv and make the tv the viewfinder

Posted by tokenuser on 09/03/2008 at 01:05:21 pm in Tekzilla

Provided the TV can accept a composite feed (look for an AUX hookup of some kind - looks like an RCA jack, probably a yellow plug, with a red and white on - for left/right audio) you should be OK.

What happens when I uninstall SP3?

Posted by apocxp on 09/03/2008 at 07:59:55 pm in Tekzilla

I think this is very good advice. You're right, reverting to SP2 may not re-enable ethernet.

Chrome Browser

If it doesn't leak memory like a sieve I'd switch in a second. Firefox is ridiculous, and I don't even have any extensions installed.
