Hey I just beat Eternal Darkness and I am a cooking geek too!

COOL, how was it, and how long did it take you ?

We have a set of Calphelon cookware.
Stainless interior, hard anodized exterior, and a clear lid.
THEY ROCK.

Web cam help

Ok Techie people

I have a pannasonic digital minicam that I think should be able to be used as a webcam using a DV interface cable (IEEE 1394), but I have to actually get the cable and the software. I have no idea how this works and what I am looking for. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Ok, I'll try that.

In the users manual it suggests getting software from Digital Origin or Canopus. I looked and they seem to offer vidoe editing software- really all I want is to be able to use the cam as a webcam . . .

What does the manual say about use it as a web cam ??

It doesn't per se

It says "a live image can be transfered directly to you PC via a DV interface cable using products and software from Digital Origin or Canopus."

I assumed that meant I could use it as a webcam. Maybe I was wrong

Find that software, and that should tell you. I'm not sure what that means either w/o reading it myself.

COOL, how was it, and how long did it take you ?

My guess would be between 20 and 25 hours total, maybe more. Some of the puzzles in the game stumped me for a while though, so you may get through it quicker.

I LOVED IT!! Everything about it was great. It is one of the rare games these days that gets better and better as you go along. By the end of the game the plot has come together really nicely and the ending is quite satisfying.

Where are you in the game? There is one sub-mission on a certain level that can easily be missed, but if completed makes your character's magick much more powerful.

You have a while to go. In case we dont speak to each other before that though, I will just let you know this. When you are the explorer, look around that level VERY CAREFULLY, there is a rune on that level that you DONT want to miss.

BUMP

Decided to give a little bump and see if there is anyone with tech news.

 

[Monkeybone]

oogie,

no tech news, but just wanted to see if you have messed around with buning DVD's and if so what program you use to author them?

also, curious about the specs on your PC.

btw, like the thread.

DVD/CD reader, CD burner, 866 mhz P3, 512 ram, 30 gig and 40 gig hd's, Zip 250, Wacom tablet, Gforce 4 4400 TI, cordless optical trackball, Epson Photo Perfection 1200 scanner w/ transparency adapter, HP Deskjet 1220c printer...........I think thats about it.

 

[Monkeybone]

nice. I have the same graphics card. Just got it about a month ago.

You really need it to play games like Jedi Knight 2, ohterwise could be a little choppy.

Also just got a DVD writer and am starting to play around with that.

Went to a computer show...........

yesterday, it was pretty cool. I was a big room full of tables, at each table there a different vendor. Most people had the same crap, it was just a mattrer of finding the best price. I found 90 min cd's, a cool finger mouse that has a ball that you move with your thumb, and a few other odd and ends. There was one vendor sell Gigabyte motherboards, even the top rated ones. There were lots of no name G-Force 4 vid. cards, a little cheaper, not worth the risk.

I got a cool black multi-media keyboard, a Microsoft optical 4 button mouse w/ wheel, a 5 port PCI USB 2.0 card, and a cool butane wind proof lighter, w/ a bent ignition for my pipe....
