Hi,

I am interested in receiving an video feed from an IEEE 1394 (firewire)
camera
on two windows XP machines simultaneously. The setup I have tried so far is
to connect the two XP machines to a firewire hub, that then connects to the
camera. I have tried interchanging hubs, firewire cables, have tested with
two separate cameras, but the result is the same each time -- I am able to
get the video
feed from one computer using the default viewer (the viewer that pops up
when double-clicking on the camera in "My Computer" ), but then when trying
to connect through the default viewer on the other computer a popup comes up
saying something to the effect of "cannot read from camera, make sure that
it is not already being used", and it fails to link into the feed.

I know that IEEE 1394 supports such a configuration, so I am wondering if
the problem I am seeing is a limitation of Windows XP, the provided firewire
drivers, or something else. Also, I would like to know if there is a way to
make it work on XP.

Thanks
