Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to help. The GR-D395 can be used as a webcam, but only via the i.Link/Firewire connection. Not via USB. If your computer has i.Link/Firewire, you may want to give this a try and see how it works for you. You may need to buy a firewire cable in order to do this. It is very possible that you can get a traditional USB web cam for about the same price as the firewire cable, which may be an easier solution.

I've had this DC for a while but never used it as a web cam. I've looked in the manual and I'm unsure as to whether it can be used as a web cam or not. Please help! I need to know this information before 1/14/2011 as I have an event planned for this weekend and would like to share it with family and friends online. Here's the link to my DC manual http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/00/90/LYT1521-001C.pdf Thank you for your input. JESUS bless you.
