<p>I am assuming that you want to use the JVC camera over the built in webcam that comes with your HP laptop because the JVC should have better resolution and a zoom lens?</p>

<p>So I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG360BU handycam and a HP Pavilion DV2000 Laptop.</p>

<p>The JVC has three ports - USB, A/V and DC (for charger).
My lap has a S-Video port (Is it an input or output port?)</p>

<p>How can I use the JVC as my webcam?? Do I need a firewire or S-Video cable?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>
