macgirl Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I received an email from ecamm, now it is unibin. I lent my webcam so until I get back I can not test it.

jrrjrr Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thanks for the heads-up, macgirl! I just grabbed it and it is working very well with my QuickCam Notebook Pro with the unibin version of macam as the driver. All in all it is using very high CPU, but I suspect that is because of the video driver (MacVidia) situation more than anything else. It is nice to have yet another application fully functional!

rogabean Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Nice to see more and more things going Uni... I fear nothing is going to get my USB cam going though. (I still use the same cam I've had for the past 7 years. IBM PC Camera) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16497-ichatusbcam-v21-now-unibin/#findComment-106211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 rogabean, you are doing good if you have a USB device that you have plugged and unplugged for 7 years, and it still works. I seem to kill every standard USB connector after about a year. I think it is about the most unreliable plug/socket design they could have come up with.

I seem to kill every standard USB connector after about a year. I think it is about the most unreliable plug/socket design they could have come up with. USB connectors are a hell of a lot better than older D-sub connectors (such as used for VGA and RS-232 connectors). I had a USB camera that was working since 1998 and only died a few months ago (a Creative WebCam II). This cam had been working with Macam, so I had to hunt around for a cheap cam that would work with the same driver. I ended up buying a $15 clone of an Aiptek PenCam from Wal-Mart. It's marketed under the name brand Digital Concepts, and comes in a variety of colors. Works pretty well with Macam, but the picture is kind of fuzzy. I also have one of the IBM PC Cams and wish I could get it working, as the picture quality on it is somewhat better.

rogabean Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 The IBM PC Camera was one indestructable little piece of hardware. I have never been kind to it over the years yet it still serves me great under Windows and Linux. Unfortunately macam doesn't support it. If I had a spare I'd send it to the devs to try and get support being looked at.
