@E_Shen – Please check the updated article, SplitCam has a beta version for 64-bit Windows version which might do the trick for you.

Hi All,
I tried to install SplitCam on my Win 7 64bit and I couldn’t, then I pop into this thread and I tried ManyCam.
With ManyCam the installation went OK but it won’t recognize my Samsung Camcorder that connected to my FireWire port.
Other software do recognized the cam when ManyCam doesn’t.
Any ideas?
Thanks

In order to install on any 64 bit operating system you first NEED to disable the Driver Signing in windows.
A simple google search for
Disable Driver Signing windows x64
will provide you with an abundant resource of tutorials.
Happy camwhoring!

I have also tried to run (as Administrator) on Windows7 (32 bit mode), and it doesn’t work. I get a “dah-ding” sound, but nothing pops up on the screen.

Disappointing!

Anybody have an idea how to get it to work?
Thanks!

@Patrick J. – Well, if the webcam does not work with any software, it could indeed be the firewire driver. But if you get an install error on SplitCam, it obviously has nothing to do with the webcam or the firewire bus.

Thanks Anthony..but it still doesn’t work. I’ve been trying various compatibility modes too but to no avail..Win7 doesn’t seem to like it. I also have a few colleagues who were running it and they can’t get it to go either. Not unless there’s something amiss with the Firewire driver bus etc..

@ayesha - As mentioned in earlier comments, Windows 7 will only work if you are running the 32-bit version (right-click My Computer in the Start menu and select Properties to see if it is 32 or 64 bit). But make sure you right-click the SplitCam installer and select Run as administrator in the popup menu.

@christopher jatico – SplitCam indeed has a problem with 64-bit versions of Windows. I have not tried it on XP 64-bit, but on noth Vista and Windows 7 it has a problem with the driver on the 64-bit version.
You could have a look at ManyCam to share the webcam across applications.
