Tonight I am a motivated blogging tech machine, it is probably due to the fact I am still hung over from a Christmas party last night. I successfully got my CVS One Time Use Camcorder working. Here are the steps I took to get it working with my computer. Here is a sample movie I took of my dog Daisy sniffing my CVS camcorder.

1 - I downloaded and installed CVS Cam Quickinstall from here.

2 - I plugged my camcorder into my USB port.

3 - The found new hardware wizard pops up saying it found new hardware named "saturn".

4 - I selected the option "Search for files in the directory I specify" and pointed the file path to "C:\Program Files\CVS Camcorder Quickinstall 2.13\libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.10.1\bin" and clicked the next button. After awhile of searching the new hardware wizard finds the inf file and installs the camcorder.

Note: There is no need to use libusb-win32-filter and libusb-win32-device to create your inf file. The inf file provided in by CVS Camcorder Quickinstall should work fine. This step confuses a lot of people.

5 - I downloaded and installed OPS.

6 - After OPS is installed you need to click the Open Camcorder button and then the Unlock button. After that you can download movies off of the camcorder and change the camcorder settings among other cool things.
