Hi,
Has anyone managed to get two Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD's (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-H5D-0 ... B002I3IRY8),
running at the same time on the same PC with two instances of Yawcam?
Or does this cause problems as Yawcam wont be able to differentiate between the two, as I am sure I read somewhere that there may be a problem.
As I may by myself a second cam, but need to know if it will work ok.

Mines running it with 2 lifecams, but ones a Cinema and the other's a VX-2000 so Unfortunately I can't tell you if it will have issues with 2 identical webcams, but it works perfectly otherwise.

Re: Run two Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD's on same machine?
I've had YawCam running with two LifeCams in the past. It lists both in each instance of the program. You just have to check that you pick the right one. Best way is to run the primary YawCam with one cam connected then connect the second and run the 2nd instance of YawCam and choose the 2nd cam. Easier to know which is which that way. I forget the exact details now but I think it's probably described in this forum way back in the past
