Sony DCR-TRV130 for live streaming???

Jan 12, 2006 5:32PM PST

Hello,
I have Sony DCR-TRV130 digital camcorder.Connector types are:
1 x IEEE 1394 (FireWire/i.LINK)
1 x composite video/audio output
1 x S-Video output
1 x headphones
1 x DC power input
I use winXP
I would like to connect it to my pc and use it as a webcam on the internet. I have software to use but it requires:"handycam through a PCI card with composite or S-video in (it must be capable of using 320X240 resolution with 16 or 24 bit colour depth)"
Can anybody tell me how to connect it to pc in order to work with that software?
Thanks all, Sandy

Turn on the camera, don't put a tape in it.
Use the AV cable to hook to your video capture card, if you don't have capture card you need to get one.
Start the software. You didn't give the name of the software so my instrutions are very general. John
