Hi Chris,
Most of the webcams I worry about can be bought on eBay for a few
dollars,
it seems like your camera is a bit more professional; Specifically, your
camera is hooked to your computer using FireWire (correct me if I am
wrong).
macam can only support USB cameras, but usually FireWire cameras are
supported quite nicely by the built-in drivers in Mac OS X.
I suggest you test with HackTVCarbon, a very simple viewing/recording
app.
If this works, then it should work in pretty much any application.
Remember that you can only use the camera in one application at a time.
A while back I think a saw a note that Skype would not support FireWire
cameras. I thought this was odd since it would actually seem extra work,
and perhaps quite tricky extra work, *not* to support them. If your
camera
works with HackTVCarbon (or some other simple viewer) but not with
Skype, then you should contact the nice people at Skype to find out
what is going on.
Good luck,
Harald

I am trying to get my computer to recognize a sony PD-170 as a
webcam. I downloaded macam, but my system still doesn't recognize
the camera. It has no problem recognizing it in FCP, but I can't
use it for another application. I was hoping to run it with
skype. any suggestions?
