More information on Running iUSBCam on an Intel Mac.

solutions.

A: Yes.
Q: My camera doesn't work well in low light. What can I do?

Try adjusting the Brightness using the "Show Video Settings" option in the "Video" menu.

recommend the Logitech
QuickCam for Notebooks Pro.

Q: How do I uninstall iUSBCam?
A: See Uninstalling
iUSBCam.
Q: Will my weird old USB webcam work with iUSBCam?
A: Try the demo! You'll
never know unless
you try. Check the camera guide for a list of
reported compatible cams.
Q: Why isn't the Video Settings panel working with my cam?
A: These video settings are very camera/driver specific. Your cam might not support certain settings.
Q: I don't get a Video panel in my iChat preferences at all! What's up?
A: Make sure you're running iChat, and not the original iChat. Only iChat supports video conferencing.
Q: My DV Camcorder powers off after a few minutes. What can I do?
A: All cameras are different, but most have a trick to keep them from going into standby. Some turn off only when they have a tape in them. Some will not turn off if you leave the tape door open. Experiment with your cam to find a way to keep it from powering off.
Q: I'm unhappy with the performance and/or picture quality. Will registering make the quality any better?
A: No, the demo and the registered version are the same with respect to performance and picture quality.
