Dell Streak as Webcam

[Guest Shauneh]

I got my Dell Streak working as a webcam at a very poor 1 FPS

http://www.placaware.com/

I got it working by following this guide, baring in mine i copied the:

usbwebcam.bat

gwebcamvideo.dll

gwebcamaudio.dll

To my own Android SDK install, as it didnt seem to work with the one they provided.

It runs fine, I wonder if someone could tweak it for faster output and at 720p.

Someone should ask the author for the source, they aren't very complicated apps.

Thanks,

I get device not found when trying this...

U have to download the SDK for android I used the 1.5 SKD copied those 3 files from the download from Placawire.

After that u run the batchfile usbwebcam.bat and it should work.

If it doesnt try loading cmd in admin mode and then nav to the folder and run the batch file again.

If you dont know how to do this, theres no point really doing it, framerate is awful but feel free to try.
