Icam doesn't see sony dv video camera
« on: May 10, 2009, 09:35:41 PM »
The icam source works great with my isight but it will not recognize my sony dv video camera via firewire.  I know the computer Mac sees it b/c i can open ichat and I see both the isight webcam and my dv camera as sources. I can choose the sony as a source in ichat and it works just fine...  so its not a connection error.  Is there something I am missing here?  It's not even showing up as a source- just the built in isight as a source. 

thx

What version of Mac OS X are you using?  As per the support page, (http://skjm.com/icam/support.php) Firewire DV cameras are only supported with Mac OS X 10.5 or later.   iCamSource uses the Quicktime Framework to capture video from cameras, and Quicktime only supports capturing from DV cameras with Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
