Re: web cam capture
Doug, Apple said the iSight would not work with iPhoto or iMovie and was not meant to do such. Also iChat will not let you access the built-in controls found in iSight. REV let me control everything. I mean everything. The focus on the iSight is way cool. Other features are great as well. But pay close attention to opening the videograb session and 'closing' the session. I forgot and caused a bit of weird stuff. I tried it on my own first and then went and checked out the sample stack provided and it all came into place.

Re: web cam capture
Thanks, Tom. I'll try some more. My initial tests failed, but I'll keep at it. By the by, Apple does say that iSight is meant to be accessed by other apps. That is their excuse for not bundling iChat with it, which so many Jaguar users complain about. doug On 1/31/04 12:37 AM, "Thomas McGrath III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > doug, > > The video capabilities were camera independent so "IF" the camera can > be accessed by 'other' programs it probably can be accessed by REV.

Re: web cam capture
doug, The video capabilities were camera independent so "IF" the camera can be accessed by 'other' programs it probably can be accessed by REV. In the case of iSight which apple says is not meant to be accessed by other apps, REV can see it just fine AND control all kinds of features in it that can't even be controlled by apples own apps. So if the driver for the camera is 'standard' enough to work in say "oculus" or some other web app then REV can definitely handle it. I had great results after playing around with it a little bit. tom On Jan 30, 2004, at 6:12 AM, Doug Lerner wrote: Just some general questions to the group - I notice that Revolution has video camera capturing features.

Just some general questions to the group - I notice that Revolution has video camera capturing features. It seems that this would be hard to implement across platforms, different camera models and different interfaces (USB and Firewire - like iSight). How do people find the robustness and cross-platform/cross-product usability of the video capture features? Does this work as well with webcams as with video cameras?
