Now I have already got a webcam; a very cheap $40.00 job from eBay. I have recently purchased a Olympus SP-500UZ and was wondering if anyone would know if it can be used as a webcam - if it does not have a direct PC-Cam function (like the FujiS5500) would I be able to get a live video feed though the A/V output into a capture card.
Any suggestions or advice would be much appriciated.

thanks

Check out cam2com, never used but it may do what you need.

Thanks for the link, I will certainly give this little application a go.

Unfortunately it seems, after contacting the software author that this application will not do as I require...thanks anyway.
What I am after is something that will allow me to use my Olympus as a live video source for use in such programs as Skype. I am beta testing a new super video-phone wigiwigi (http://www.wigiwigi.com) and would love to see the quality of picture that my new camera gives me.
