User Reviews

  • Excellent simple tool set that works from the command line without fail. At same time it is an eye-opener that the HD M$ Lifecam Cinema just works when plugged into the mac with os x 10.6.8 :) . Definitely better video than with the build-in ISight!
  • Brilliant and very useful tool. With the introduction of a feature that disables the iSight camera 'green light' this could be used for security purposes.
  • Worked flawlessly on my MacBook Pro 10.5.8 Now, if only I could locate the source... ;-)
  • Awesome. About time. Now I have to figure out why my microsoft cam doesn't show up :)
  • would be nice if there are other video recording options, like setting framerate and encoding for audio/video. I couldn't get YUV to playback in VLC or QT. Still this is a great tool! Thanks!!
