Using a Canon Powershot S2 as a PC camera

Hi

Dont know if this is in the correct forum, but here we go...

I have a Canon Powershot S2, which i think is absolutely fantastic. I have just returned from a week in Crete and it captured my adventure beautifully.

But, i want to know if i can connect the camera to my PC and use it as a VGA webcam (but not for broadcasting over the web, just to record onto PC hard drive). Is this possible? My PCs graphics card has no video input, just an S-Video out.

Any ideas would be warmly appreciated.

Thanks all.
