I picked up some DVC325 Kodak cameras the other day at my local charity computer store, the cameras are old but still useful for what I'm trying to do. Short version the XP drivers Kodak released don't work, and the drivers i found in many hours of Google searching didn't work Long version.
ok for those of you that know the kodak dvc325 webcam freezes your system if you have a dual processeor, now someone has kinda found a solution but it dosent let me install it still it only detects the kodak driver, can anyone figure this out?
After a message from Sebastian (many thanks to you!), I begin to search other cameras with the same hardware (remember that Kodak it?s only a re-marker of PC Digital Cameras). First of all, in the driver files are one, called VDQSDLL.DLL. Inside this file one string appear: ?ViewQuest USB PC Camera?. For this reason, I have download the driver for ViewQuest?s M318b camera (technical characteristics identical to DVC-325). Obviously, this file are also contained inside the package. After change my computer to run in ?uniprocessor ACPI mode?, I installed this driver from ViewQuest. Surprisingly the driver works great with my camera (the software are not very good, but the driver it?s a little more useful than Kodak).
Later I have found a mail in deja-news that explain a driver development for Linux for SUNPLUS chip cameras (SPCA50x series). In this mail, the author (thanks!) explain that Intel cameras uses the same hardware, and? Eureka!
