I did this with an HD Sony cam and it worked flawlessly.... providing you have the proper RCA plugs/adapters for your camera.

Don't think the web cam programs will pick it up this way. Pinnacle will pick up and record from the camera if that was what I was trying to do

any suggestions on how to get it to work as a webcam?

oh, and It's hooked up to the computer through firewire.[/QUOTE

Downloaded and installed, but my webcam programs still will not work.
