Philips ToUcam

Hi all, I was pulling stuff out of a box today, and found a Philips ToUcam Pro PCVC740K that I had purchased and modified (filter added) to use for basic planetary astro photography a few years ago. I have a Canon Rebel XT I use now, but as I never did use this thing (divorce got in the way), I'd like to play with it a bit. I found a work-a-round for the drivers so I can use my (pos)Vista OS laptop. But I can't find any of the software it came with, and I guess it needs Philips "VRecord" to use the camera(to capture images)? Does anyone know where I can download VRecord from? Or another program that will do the same job? Any other help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks...Rich

I sent you a PM with a link to where you can download the XP drivers for the ToUcam. They don't have Vista drivers for this webcam, but they have a workaround using the XP drivers on the same website. IN fact you can go to the philips website and click on the support tab and then do a search on "740K" to get to the workaround and drivers download page.

Hi Rich, download Virtual Dub (freeware), it works great for recording avi's! Dan
