magic0200 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have a Built in USB webcam (gateway 2.0) that is found by OSX but doesn't work (blue light turns on but no picture). What's weird is that.. Camtwist - working Maccam - not working Ichat / osx - not working ooVoo - working and looks GREAT. What Im wondering is if we can look into these other applications and figure out how their driver is working and apply it to OSX drivers through kext edit? Also if their mics can also be activated as well. I have read up on the forums but haven't seen any real progress except to just "turn on camtwist". I know this isn't a huge deal but it seems like a feasible project. If it's just me than plz ignore this post Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/134807-webcams-oovoocamtwistcamtwistichat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
age_sabres18 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 sounds like a great idea. what kext handles webcam drivers with internals?

bthome Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Any luck with this? Working: Camtwist ooVoo Google Video Not Working: IChat Photobooth. There has to be a way to tell the other apps how to talk to the camera.

CharredPC Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 This has been looked at in the past. The issue isn't so much driver-based, as application-based. Certain programs are willing to accept whatever input they are given (such as Camtwist). Others are specifically designed to work with Apple devices (iChat, Photobooth), so call for settings or resolutions our webcams simply can't provide. Unfortunately webcams aren't like audio devices- there's not one handy kext file that every app interfaces with.
