Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

I used to use isightcapture all the time on my ibook G4 with FireWire iSight. It no longer works with my MacBook; it seems to be confused between the built-in USB iSight and the external FireWire one. There's no way to tell it which one you want, and since I need it for an event webcam, the built-in (unaimable) camera is not a useful choice. I wrote to the developer about a year ago, but never heard back. It's a shame, because this used to be a nifty utility.

Used to be very useful - derek39

I have the same issue, where I want to make it use an external (USB) camera. There's a -i [camera-index] option, but 0 and 1 both use the built-in cam, above that gives an error, and I see no provision for viewing a list of the available values to give to -i.
