Hi Robert,
OK you used the macam application to establish that your camera
works, that is good.
And you copied the macam.component into the /Library/QuickTime/
folder, also good.
There is a global /Library/QuickTime folder and of course your
personal one;
the macam component will work in either location, but you should make
sure you
don't have an old, outdated component in the *other* location that
might cause trouble.
Also, after you copy the component, you have to restart whatever
application you want
to use the webcam with. You don't have to restart the computer, just
the relevant application.
You can also do a logout/login. Basically, whenever an application
starts, that is when the
QuickTime components available are registered etc.
I don't know much about the mercury messenger application; that could
be a problem too.
To verify your macam.component installation, I suggest you use the
HackTVCarbon
application (Google). This is the simplest possible application that
tests the component.
I would also suggest trying Skype, as it now supports video.
Let me know how it works out,
Harald

Hello,
I have a problem, my girlfriend is in a different province right
now and we have been trying to video message eachother. she has a
macbook pro with a built in isight wich works fine on ichat, but my
camera does not.
I downloaded the demo version of ichat usb cam, but it does not
recognize my camera. i have downlaoded your mac cam component and
it works great for taking pictures and making videos with my
camera. i have a aGent 1.3MP CCD, the mac cam recognizes it as a
"generic Z30301P webcam". the problem is, no other application
seems to recognize it. im trying to use it with mercury messenger,
but it keeps telling me there isnt a webcam hooked up to the
computer. i dragged the mac cam component into my library/quicktime
folder, its not working though.
is there anything you can tell me to help me out?
thanks,
