Well, I think you'll find - as others have pointed out - that you can only have one video stream active on a FW bus. It's the isochronous nature of FW video streams.
The only way you'll get multiple streams of video from FW is to have a separate FW Bus - which doesn't mean plugging it into another FW port - all ports built in on the Mac are one FW bus. You need a separate card entirely. A laptop's internal iSight is USB. There are decent USB webcams out there as well as bad ones. You just have to pick the right one. Consult the Google for OSX recommends for webcams. good luck, Patrick Sheffield Sheffield Softworks On May 10, 2011, at 11:53 AM, Nathan Sims wrote: > Okay, I opened QC in 32 bit mode on my MacBook, but it still only likes the > first iSight on the FW bus and not the second. > > As far as USB cams are concerned, I've tried every one I could get my hands > on.
