Not sure if I'm posting in the right groups, here....

I'm using a Sony DCR-PC101E (PAL output) connected to a Pinnacle TV Tuner
card for video conferencing with GnomeMeeting.

I have a slight problem, in that the camera shuts down after a few
minutes.

I could put a cassette in, and record to tape at the same time as using it
for a video chat, but would prefer to disable the auto shutdown, if
possible.

So far, I've not been able to find out how to do this. The handbok
doesn't mention it, and neither do my Google searches.

Any help?

Keith.
