   I’m thinking of purchasing a miniature camera for my 4 year old son to use and abuse, but when I saw this Digital Dream Xtra I want to buy two - one for me as well!

   Seen your gallery pics. They look fine if you want simple snaps. I’ve bagged up a couple of these baby’s. Thanks for the tip.

   Have a problem getting the pictures from camera to PC- TWAIn error- scanner not connected. I see the drivers, but in the device manager- when I click on Still cam- the section at the bottom Status- says device not connected. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled, and used a sec PC, and downloaded the drivers fronm the web- any work arounds?

   HI!

   I bought the ViviCam.10 and can’t get it to work. It says there is no CIF image to create AVI.

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks

   Mer

   Hi Meredith,
   I’m not really sure. I don’tknow whether the s/ware is the same for the 10 as for the 20. I’ve never tried to make an AVI with mine.
   Sorry

   To Meredith –
   If you keep hitting the mode button, you get to a picture that looks like a stack of picture frames. That puts you into AVI mode. The camera will take a 320 x 240 picture, about 3 per second. If you pull up the results with the AVI software, it will convert it to a movie.

    I purchased a Vivicam 20 $49.00 at Wal Mart,
    The pictures are pretty light dependant but after about six months of using the cam I can get some nice snaps, the web-cam feature is a little less enjoyable, the camera’s short field of view makes it difficult to be seen unless you are sitting directly in front of the camera, or; place it on a tri-pod and about six feet (2m) away.
    The flash seems to be way too much or not enough, natural light is the best, but the purchase of “this” camera was due to the flash feature that seems to be much less of a value in the long run.
    The batteries last a long time, and it’s small size and generaly good picture quality makes it a great cam to carry in the jaket pocket, push the power button and take the pic..I like that feature a lot.
    The mini tri-pod is not heavy enough to overcome the stiffness of the USB cable that comes with the camera, and the cable should be longer for web cam users.

    I own a vivcam 20, pruchased at Walmart for $0 USD. Up till now i have been happy with the quality vs the price. I just put in a fresh pair of batteries, Energizer E2, that replaced standard duracell. Now i can get the flash to charge up under any of the light settings. Could it be the batteries? Or could there be a worse problem at hand?

12. mike Says:
    April 13th, 2003 at 11:25

    Hi,
    You can quickly determine whether it is the batteries by swapping in another fresh pair of Duracel’s. If the flash works with those, then your Energizer’s aren’t strong enough. If it still doesn’t, then I do think you have a more serious problem.

    I have a vivicam.10, and when I try to use it it comes up with no CIF image to create AVI maker. I have the insallation cd and that does’nt even work. The AVI maker has no compatibility for Windows XP. I’m not to impressed about the whole thing, So I would like some imfo on what to do. Thank You, Clara Leonard

    Clara,
    I’m sorry but I do not know how to fix your problem. Someone else had an earlier comment with a similar problem. Perhaps their answer will help you.

    By the way, I do not make or sell Vivacam cameras, nor support them in any way; I happened to own a Vivicam 20 and write about it here.

    I’ve had this camera for a few months now. You really have to play around with the settings to figure out how to get the best picture. I have to say, I think my recent photos came out a lot better than the ones in the gallery. I really like the feature that lets you take close-up pictures. It worked great when photographing my dad’s antique bottles. This camera is well wortht the price in my opinion.

    I too have the same problem as Julie,loaded drivers and every time You try to access the camera acdsee says there is a twain driver error…I have noticed however that when the camera is plugged to the computer it shows up as a removable media and can be navigated to from My Computer and the files manipulated from there.Open to suggestions but why won’t the camera be recognized by the twain driver?

31. Julie Says:
    September 26th, 2003 at 06:26

    Thanks for your quick response, Mat. Actually, i am not having the problem with my camera at home. The photos transfer fine. But i have a friend who has the same camera and we keep getting that TWAIN driver error message on his PC. I just don’t understand it. Hopefully someone will come up with the resolution.

32. Julie Says:
    September 26th, 2003 at 06:27

    By the way, Mat. I brought my friend’s camera and interface cord home with me and downloaded his images with no problem on my PC. It’s definitely software related.

    If you’re making an AVI, the images in the camera have to be in CIF format, which is 352×288 pixels. If you are making an AVI using single shots you’ve taken, then be sure to switch the format to CIF before you shoot the pics: switch on, press Mode twice and then Select. This could be why some people are getting the ‘no CIF’ message.

    If you select the multiple image setting (press Mode nine times then Select) the camera shoots them in CIF mode automatically.

51. Greg George Says:
    February 16th, 2004 at 01:17

    The XP Twain driver from the website for the Vivicam 10 does not work under Windows XP. While the camera is detected as a Plug and Play USB mass storage device (Sunplus SPCA533) and can be accessed as a drive by XP, the Twain driver does not load or run in any application. Further, the installation the device in “Imaging Devices” as both a single mode and dual mode DSC camera, as stated in the documentation, never occurs after software installation.

    The broken XP drivers need to be fixed by Vivitar. I have worked with 5 other digital cameras extensively and have never, ever had the kind of software problems I have with this one. The software is junk.

52. Dave Says:

    We just got a Vivicam 10 for our youth group. Took pictures fine but made the mistake of waiting overnight to upload. The camera didn’t turn on when I went to upload. The only solution was to take the batteries out and reinsert which caused me to loose pictures that can’t be replaced. Is anyone else having this problem?

53. mike Says:
    February 18th, 2004 at 23:06

    Dave, I think this is a consequence of the Vivcam 10 (and 20) not having flash memory to store the pictures. They need a battery supply to continue to store them. I guess the lesson learned is to upload your pictures at the first opportunity.

57. LaBuck Says:
    March 7th, 2004 at 03:49

    I purchased a Vivicam 20 several months back and have been so disappointed with it…I think that is a piece of junk.
    The pictures are weird looking - anything “red” comes out green and they are so grainy looking no matter what mode it’s in. The flash is so bright it literally washes out the subject to a “white blobb”. How many mega pixels is this camera.
    For example: I am looking at one that is a Canon 300 series with 3.2 megs marked on the front. What would this Vivicam 20 compare to ??? .2 megs???

    OK, I have had the same problem where the computer is complaining about not having a “CIF image to create AVI”. On the CD that comes with the camera is the AVI maker software which is not in the driver download page. THis is what you need to do

    1) Download both drivers from the vivicar website for the vivicam.

    2) Install a second photo processing software. I used Studioline Photo Basic which was a free download from download.com

    3) Go to File –> Import –> Vivicam

    That will allow you to pull the pics even in XP. Took me a while to figure out so I hope I have saved you some time.

    Hi Joe:
    Your advice was timely, I am having the XP/no CIF File problem — but I do not understand Step 3, go to File Import Vivicam. Do you have any more specific advice on how to make this work after installing both the downloads? I am getting ready to give up on the camera.

77. James Jetter Says:

    Here’s some help for most of you:
    1. The AVI download is an application that converts a file created on the V10 or V20 to an AVI file. The website no longer has the ArcSoft software used for off-loading images from the camera.

    2. To take movies (short clips) you need to set the camera into movie mode. (The manual on the website DOES include instructions for setting the camera in the verious modes.)

    3. Although the off-load (and image viewing) software is not available on the website, you CAN use just about any other photo editing software that imports from TWAIN devices. Photoshop, Coral Draw, are examples. You DO need to have the driver installed for them to function in download mode. That driver IS available on the site. Also, you have to reboot after running the driver install program in order that the image software will recognize the camera.

    4. To download, plug the cable into the camera and the computer’s USB port. The cable is just an “A” to “A” USB cable. They are a little hard to find, but they are NOT proprietary. I bought one on the internet for $6. They have the same connector on both ends; the same connector that you plug into the back of your computer in the USB port. You ALSO need to set the camera into download mode as I recall.

    I Got a Vivicam 20 at a flee market. There was nothing with it. I dopwnloaded a driver and got a USB cord from a dealel. If you don’t know USB cables ask for an A to A. I didn’t know this. All of my regular picture software works well with it. I don’t know anything about it. Only what I have picked up here. I am having the same battery problems. Changed batterys and no flash. You must use the long life kind.

    WOW I have this camera Vivitar 3301 1.3 megapixle- and I gotta say it SUUUUCKS
    really bad. In this day and age you should at least be able to simply plug the camera in and at least
    have one program open the pictures. Not the case. The CD that Vivitar sent with the camera has
    a big hole in it. Great! Of course it doesn’t work. Again this camera sucks the backside of
    of a goffer.

    I have the Vivicam.20 and I have downloaded the Photo impressions and I have finally figured out how to work everything on the camera, however, my problem is when I hook the camera up to the computer it says that there are no pictures to down load. It seems like the camera isn’t storing the pictures. I have tried every which way to take a picture and have changes out the batteries but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    I got one of these (Cam 10) as a freebie in a trade. It took a little bit to figure out but the flash does still work when you change the batteries, just it resets to being off. Use the mode button to select the automatic flash symbol (A with a flash) and when it’s blinking press and hold down the select button until the camera beeps. The “busy” light will blink for a few seconds while the flash charges, and you’re ready to go. The drivers can be downloaded from Vivitar’s web site, just I wish they’d used a standard camera USB cable, the A-A male cables are uncommon.

     How do I get this bloody vivcam 10 to work. XP says it installed, I ran the exe twice like it says on the vivtar website, bt the second time always uninstalls it. Usually USB cameras show up as an extra drive but when I go into my computer there is no extra drive, yet everything in device manager says unit works properly…so what the hell??

     hey i think I can help with the viv cam 10 and 20.I down loaded the latest drivers from http://www.vivitar.com and then it will upgrade the driver system .You need to use arcsoft to down load the pictures it is the prgram that comes with the install driver.

     March 6th, 2006 at 12:26

     Assuming that the driver you are asking for is the one for the vivicam 20 (that’s what this article is about); then it took me about 4 clicks from Vivitar’s home page to find
     the driver download page.

126. mike Says:

     Jose,

     Does this look like the Vivitar site? You even included a link to the Vivitar site so you presumably know of it.

     Why ask your questions here? Why not ask Vivitar?
