Turn an Eyetoy into a USB Webcam

Step 2: Step 2: Downloading

Next you want to proceed to download the file you selected. The download button should say "Download Now (no viruses detected)" Go through all of the download steps. Just a note, it will ask you if you live in a 50hz country. Countries like the US and Japan are 60hz countries, if you don't know what area you live in you can google search a list of 50hz countries. Also you will most likely encounter a box that just says "???????" and the option to click OK, it doens't mean something went wrong so just click OK and continue. Finish the download and your Eyetoy will be a fully functional webcam! It's actually a pretty high picture quality so have fun!

Hey, can u post a video taken with the webcam? I'm curious to see what the frame rate would look like in recorded video.
