    Hi, I could use some help narrowing down the webcam software options out there.

    I only need it to stream video from the cam to the PC screen, and am looking for something stable/not buggy.

    There are two main features I'm having a hard time looking for:

    *Full screen or adjustable for the screen showing the stream, and not just a fixed small window. I'm looking for a streaming window with at least a decently large portion of the screen but preferably full screen.

    *Software that can show multiple streams from 2 different cams on the same screen. Possibly from two different brands? Is something like that just a pipe dream?

    Or if a program with one screen could be loaded up twice for two different cams showing on the desktop at the same time, if that could work.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Oh, I want to use a webcam, possibly two, to play my DS on my PC screen as seen in this video
    Just jump to the 2:40-3:00 mark to see it

    . You put a web cam in front of the DS screen and it streams to your PC. My eyes are bad so I need to do this if I want to play some games without making my eyes worse. Thing is alot of cam software only puts it through in a fixed window, which defeats the purpose of getting it on the PC. My main priority is just getting one BIG window off of one cam, as there are enough games that mainly play on the top DS screen. So that would be enough.

    But if I could get two running, then I could also play games that use both screens a lot.
    I would have one cam for each screen and then stream them both onto the PC. That's why I asked about software that could stream from two different webcams. Or a single window program I could just load up twice for two different cams.

    I understand that software may not exist for two cams but I figured an adjustable window size would have to be out there somewhere.
