web cam capture

[Thomas McGrath III]

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.
