I bought this webcam from ebay to use with my laptop's xp/vista installations:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=014

Windows Drivers install the camera as a Popodino USB PC Camera (ZC0301PL).

OSX sees the device when plugged into the usb port as: vimicro PC Camera.

On the vimicro site are drivers:

USB1.1 Digital Webcam driver 08/27/2004 653K (667,798 bytes) MAC Support Vimicro 300K pixel Video camera models: * 301P+HV7131R, * 301P+MI360 Video


When you download the package into OSX there is no installation apparently.
The files are listed as follows:

- ZCamISPLib (some plugin for quicktime)
- ZCamIMGLib (some plugin for quicktime)
- ZCam Driver
- ZCam Digitizer
- ZCam Panel
- Instructions.txt
- Read Me

None of the files that seem important have .kext extensions yet the instructions say to copy the files to:

/System/Library/Extensions

Then reboot. I tried it and that failed. I also tried to add the .kext extension and that failed! smile.gif

I'm looking for any ideas as according to these directions the drivers should work MAC 9.2 and higher.
I know it's a long shot but I'd love to find a way to make this work.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated! biggrin.gif
