I just received my Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro the other day, so I thought I should upload some sample footage of the camera, filmed BY the camera, in a mirror: [URL] More of my sample footage (HD only): [URL]
View 3 RepliesI am about to move from my maxed out iMac to a 8-core Mac Pro and was looking for some advice from those who have experience with webcams and Leopard OS. I have been researching and found references to USB video class (UVC) and through digging and some links from Wikipedia it "appears" the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision and Ultra Vision SE should be support, but does anyone on here actually have on and can comment on compatibility?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got the vision pro, works fine for what I needed (iChat, skype, etc...) I see that it does 720p, but I'm trying to find an app that will allow that capture? Anyone doing this and can recommend an app? (the packaging recommends BTV Pro, seems like an out of date app)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to decide to get this webcam "Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision Pro". But, I'm wondering if it will work under windows if I install boot camp or parallels 4. Why this statement, is because since it is only compatible with Mac will it work only under the Mac OS. So if anybody has it and works in both OS's it will be kind of you to let me know before I jump and buy it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a webcam for my Mac Pro. I'm currently running Leopard but plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard soon. I'm looking at the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro, but I've read reviews that say it works well in applications like iChat and Skype, but isn't recognized as a webcam by Adobe Flash Player for use on Flash chat websites like [URL] and [URL]. I really need a webcam that is recognized and compatible with Flash Player. Can anyone with a Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro confirm whether it works through Flash player on sites like tinychat or stickam? If not, can anyone recommend a webcam that works well on a Mac for Flash-driven sites like these?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI note that Logitech are marketing their Vision Pro webcam as "for Mac", and yet from what I've seen of the specs, it's just a QuickCam Pro 9000 with a different colour activity light - and of course, the QCP 9000 works on a Mac just like any other UVC-compliant webcam. Is there actually any substantive difference between the cameras, or is it really just a marketing exercise?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for Mac. If I connect the cam then I can find it back in "About this Mac - More Info - USB" as Logitech webcam. I also can use it in iChat. But when I log in on an Instant Messenger Chat, the Adobe Flash Player settings only recognise the iSight as webcam...not the Logitech. The Apple help desk directed me to Logitech and Logitech told me that it is somewhere in the apple programs.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwell i transfered some .mp4 videos from my Samsung X820 phone hrough bluetooth. They played fine on the phone itself.
I tried playing them through quicktime, but returned "Invalid Sample Description", so it didnt open the file.
I then installed VLC, the video played, but there was no audio.
I play a lot of video games on the internet but my connection is not great around 512kbs. I am trying to reduce the sample rate of the microphone from 44k to 22k to use less bandwith when I talk to other players. I always break up when I talk. There is no option to do that in the sound settings. Is there a way to do it? I have a macbook pro 15' 2.5 ghz intel 2 core duo. With 3gb of Ram.

I'm going to be teaching a number of staff at the local high school (which is going over to the Apple platform from Novell) how to use iPhoto but, I don't want to use any of my personal photos as examples. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me where I could find the sample photos that are loaded onto macs in the Apple store.

I turned on my mac tonight to find that the screen has gone funny. there are marks inside the screen that look like water marks. The sound is also not working when I try to play videos. I can hear a crackling sound. it all worked perfectly last night but on shutting it down I updated a recommended software update.

For the sake of the whole mac community , brave me picked up a Xbox Live Vision Cam from a local ToysRUs (299HKD, around 39 US bucks or 45 maple dollars), to see if it really works with 10.4.9 without a hack/driver~~ the whole thing apparently comes with the cam itself (ofcoz), a useless Xbox Live headset & some sort of Xbox Live trial gaming membership card
View 24 Replies View RelatedSo i've been using the xbox webcam for skype chatting while connected to my 3-year-old ibook G4 running OS 10.4.9 and all is right with the world... But I'd like to be able to use it with my (much faster) desktop G4 running OS 10.5.6, but no dice. the 'puter won't even recognize it. I browed around to see if it's just not compatible with Leopard but some folks out there seem to think it is.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA couple of nights ago I realized my five year old iMac was making a sound I have never heard it make before. It is a scratching noise that I assume is coming from my internal hard drive (hard drive is stock, has never been replaced). It isn't a super loud noise, but it sounds like the noise some hard drives make when they are "searching" or "thinking". I'm wondering if my hard drive is beginning to fail, or if the problem could be something as simple as dust or dirt caught in the drive. An audio sample is in the link below, [URL]

As the title of the thread says I have 20/40 Vision CORRECTED. I would like to know from Dr's or people with experience which is better? I'm leaning towards matte due to the glare of the glossy. I currently have a XPS 1640 1366x768 and the glare can get annoying! I'm concerned however about the 1680x1050 on the 15" Should I get the glossy slandered then? (lowering doesn't work - fuzzy images) I've been reading the forums like no other The contrast is better for the glossy then for the matte. Is that what I should focus on?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI run a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel OSX 10.5.8 and have been editing video with iMovie HD 5.0.2 for several years. I recently connected my Sony DVR-2100E camcorder to iMovie, imported and edited footage. When I tried to export the edited footage back to the camera iMovie refused to recognise either of my 2 camcorders and would not connect. Although I have iMovieHD installed I do not appear to have iLife. I also have iMovieHD 5.0.2 installed on my Powerbook. When I connect either of my 2 camcorders to the Powerbook they connect OK to iMovie but the moment I try to export any footage back to camera it immediately crashes and say's it has lost the connection. This happens every time. If I purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade for Leopard for $39 will it have iLife with a full version of iMovie included, or will I have to purchase a full installation version? I am hoping that a newer version of iMovie with iLife will solve my problems.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new Macbook Pro, and I am trying to record some gameplay footage of my online adventures in PS3 games to share with friends. I would like to record in preferably HD 720p if possible, but Standard Definition would be acceptable only if I can play the game in HD on my Television while it recorded in SD. My TV does not have any outputs, only input connections for component, composite, and HDMI.
I've done a lot of researching on the internet, and the closest thing I found to what I was looking for was the Hava HD Wireless. [URL] The problem is that it doesn't seem to say anywhere that it will work with a Mac. I was wondering if there is any Mac solution to my problem.
I am using the first version of Motion. I have some footage I shot and converted to a .mov file. I know Motion 3 does speed up footage but my version does not. Anyone out there know how to speed up footage using a low cost or free solution? This is the last thing i need to do to finish this project.I do not own final cut or quicktime pro. Just have Motion and iMovie '08
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an imac 10.5.7 with 4GB and a 2.66 GHz processor. I have just installed Final Cut Pro 4 and I read that I should never use the Hard Drive as the scratch disk.
I need to know where else can I store my video footage. Does the mac have another disk that can store all this information. Or do I need to get an external hard drive?
I bought a macbook pro a few weeks ago, I've got some footage which I want to edit and I asked some people I know and have been told I need to have a firewire port on my laptop and a cable to connect this to my videocamera. I'm not really sure what kind of firewire port I have though, I have the latest version of macbook pro, where can I get this cable from? Is it expensive?

My computer specs are: G5 PowerPC, 2.0Ghz Dual core processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 MB Ati Radeon 9800 pro graphics card and Final Cut pro 6.0.6.
Now my friend is thinking of buying a Canon 60d and my computer is the one we always edit on. Will it be able to edit the footage if I converted it to Apple Prores (LP, HQ or standard)?

I´m completely new to the world of plug ins etc and has shot for the first time with a Sony PMW EX1. I now need to convert the footage to import it to FCPX. (I normally shoot with a DSLR so no trouble with import)
I have downloaded the PDZK-LT2 - Camera Import Plug-In Version 1.0 for Final Cut Pro X from Sony and opened the zip filed, moved what I got (file, dmg, zip and pdf) to the Application Support File in the Library. If this isn´t what I´m supposed to do - what and where?
Should FCPX recognise it when I want to import the footage and choose the plug in instead of the normal importer, or do I need to run it through the new plug in first, then import the new files to FC?? I can´t find any beginners info on this and it´s a bit lonely here trying trial and error with a tired head. I assumed it would just show up when I try to import it.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 and all my footage is on my external drive. Can I use this footage from the HD WITHOUT IMPORTING to my iMac HD? If so, how?

I have a G4 in my living room and my old PowerMac 7300 in my bedroom. If I want of use either one to go online I have to disconnect one to connect the other. I cannot connect both at he same time. I use broadband cable from Cable Vision in New York. I was told about a router. Can anyone give me advice on the name of good router and whether on not it will slow down the access speed on the internet?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy life time stock of footage is at 3000 hours and counting. It is in numerous formats from film to DV Cam. I know that I must get all of the original material onto a single format digital medium. I suppose that DV tape is the most dependable media, and probably half of my footage is already in that form.
From there I need to catalog all of this stuff into a form that will allow me to search it using key words, phrases and directives (camera pans, tilts and zooms, close shots, mid shots, distant shots, and in certain cases, date and time of day, backgrounds, dominant colors and locations) etc.
My desire is to be able to write a scenario using the terminology and grammar created for logging, and have the program provide a shot list that considers the entire catalog, identifies where on each reel the shot resides, and groups multiple shots that satisfy the criteria, and perhaps give a video abstract of each shot. I see this as more than a thumbnail.
Some have suggested final cut server or Cat DV as likely programs. I prefer to edit using Final Cut Express. It seems to have all of the capability that I need for my projects. I am a one man band and I am making art movies without regard for producers or clients, so I really do not need to share the files.
I am on old guy and do not really have much time to put something together, ten or fifteen years if I am lucky. I do not want to spin my wheels very much with the set up.
