Hi,

got one question: I have a webcam page and got a Philips ToUCam Pro. I use
conquercam to make a file upload to my ftp. Now I want to make a stream. But
while conquercam is working windows media encoder can't take control of my
webcam. Is there any software which takes the signal of my cam and can
"virtually" make two of them? Or does anyone of you has an idea or
workaround?

thanks in advance

Hello Christian. You can do this with the virtual camera driver in
TrackerCam. It's called the TrackerCam Video Capture Driver. You
select that as the video source in your application. TrackerCam also
does ftp uploading. It is a free download from www.trackercam.com. If
you can edit your registry, we can show you how to make more than 2
copies.

Hope this helps.

Wow,
thank you, works pretty good. The only problem now: My cpu is 100% in use. I
even can't surf the net without risk a computer blackout :) I even got the
feeling your software improved my cam's quality.

bye

Glad it works.

Re. your 100% cpu - are you using the digital zoom? Digital zoom would
show up in your cpu usage because it is done in user mode. The video
copying is done in kernel mode and shouldn't be reported when you
check your cpu usage.

Does your cpu usage go back to normal when you change zoom back to
100% in TrackerCam Software?
