miyota MV5000 Driver

Jun 22, 2006 2:15AM PDT

Hello,
I bought a miyota MV5000 minicamcorder (MPEG4) and I lost the CD for it.. NOw i am trying to use it as a webcam on my computer (this is one of its functions) however, everytime i connect it to my computer my computer recognize it as a mass storage device or a usb device eventhough I changed the settings from the camera to the webcam function. I looked for the driver all over the new however, i wasn't successful... I was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem,, thank you very much.

Webcams could be cheaper.

I looked and found no support site. Here a webcam could be from free to 20 bucks. Time to go shopping.

Find a place that sells them and ask for the CD.
