RedDrag0n Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have the same issue, but with a different camera. I got mine at Futureshop and it's a Gear Head USB 2.0 camera designed for Mac. It works with everything else like ichat, yahoo, Amsn and such. But it doesn't work with either quicktime capture nor photobooth. I get the same thing your looking at. I figured out the quicktime problem though, tell it to decode natively, and not force mpeg 4 or h264. But yeah, i see what you see in photobooth too. Come on guys, some help here? Thanks in advance.

RedDrag0n Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Have you tried Macam? They have support for alot of webcams and by the looks of it, there are 2 that you have. Hopefully that info should help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangoo Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I have an apple iSight and have the same problem it is coming from Photo Booth and not from your cam. This is happening since I changed to Leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rettro Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I had the same problem with the same camera.. how I fixed it was I found and ran Photobooth 1.2 .. when that ran .. It worked .. but 1.2 was useless, while the video worked now, it didn't save any pictures, none of the "Effects" worked etc.... so on a laugh, I ran the current 10.5 version of photo booth and the dammed thing worked!!! I'm not sure what running the old photobooth 1.2 did .. but it seemed to have fixed the scrambled video problem with the creative live! cam video IM pro webcam.!!! While I don't plan on using 1.2 .. I'll keep it around incase it gets munged up again .. if you need to download photobooth 1.2 .. check the link on this page http://mactasticsite.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html you have to scroll down a bit ..

Rettro Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I should also mention I installed iGlasses .. the combo of the two may have been what fixed the problem.. I went into iGlasses and tried all the settings.. and the rotate video .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
