This latest version still gives me a missing codec problem with the dynamics background on my win7 laptop. Installed the Indeo 5.11 codec packs and still not able to use any of the dynamic backgrounds.

My situation:
1) Windows 7
2) Invoke ManyCam 2.4 (latest version)
3) Invokde Microsoft Windows Live Messanger
4) Connect with someone on Live Messanger
5) Chat back and forth – no problem
6) Set Video Source to ManyCam
7) All working great!
Attempt to share my Webcam (regardless if Source is Webcam or a video)
9) Windows Live Messanger crashes

Any ideas? Thanks!

I did what Torphie suggested. So far, so good. The troubleshoot wizard seems to work for ManyCam on Win 7. First time I have had that wizard solve an incompatible program. Cheers.

Hey there,

I got the same problems to alex’s. Actually, No software can recognizes the manycam device except the console from manycam itself under Windows 7 x64.
But i can see the manycam device being installed and working properly in Device Manager :: ‘Sound, video and game controllers’.
More, I need a function that can let the video from virtual camera running before login to the desktop, Not just show a static image to ask you running the manycam console.

I also like to know the possibility and when to add the feature that can use DLLs as the video-effect filter pluggins, like the SoftCam/MagicCam/WebcamMax does.

Regards

Hi,

I can’t explain it but my problem with ManyCam on Windows 7 and Philips SPC 900NC disappeared as soon as I installed Google video chat. May be ManyCam doesn’t work with Philips web cam when it is the only one installed.

Hello
I also upgraded to Win7 64, i use a canon minidv , and a winfast aplication for tc tunner.When i open manycam the image is black, and if i try to select winfast as video sourse it tells me it can not connect to video source and i have to select some other video source.
Is this error from my camera or the winfast application? Or is the manycam who in fact , does not work properly on Win7 as announced?
Thank you.

Koen,

We have the same camera and it looks like the same general problem. My issue was that the SPC 900NC was working fine in XP (32-bit) and no longer works in Vista (crashes as stated above). Windows 7 and Vista seem similar so I would imagine the same issue exists.

I have contacted Manycam through email and the blog without seeing any feedback. I would prefer to hear “we won’t fix this issue” than nothing at all.

Hopefully the 900NC users can supply enough debug information to help the developers fix the issue – but I see no movement on the part of the developers.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen a camera that quite matches all the specs of the 900NC – so for an old camera – it’s holding up fairly well.

My solution at the moment is to avoid using Manycam.

I cannot find out how to turn OFF the dynamic effects on ManyCam. Starting them is easy – but if I want to go back to plain ol’ webcam without the effects, there’s no “off” button visible, and it’s apparently not included in “help” (such as it is).

Is there some kind of toggle for the dynamic stuff?
