Video-Beta-Discuss Digest, Vol 7, Issue 3

[Hank Roberts]

I had one of my two Unibrain Fire-i cameras go whacky after my most 
recent try (OSX 10.3.4) -- it constantly cycles from washed out to 
normal, blink, washed out .... -- and the manufacturer says that one of 
the settings in the camera for the multiple varieties of backlighting 
must have been changed. 

None of those settings are normally visible with the Mac OS, except with 
BenBird's software and Evological's "Videoscope"  and neither of those 
tools can make any of the camera settings stick.  Apparently Windows 
apps can get at these registers, anyone know for sure?

I'd bet Apple is letting stray signals go through the firewire interface 
that Apple is ignoring and pretending don't exist, frankly.    "See no 
evil, hear no evil, lose no profits" kind of attitude at Apple, seems to 
me, with hardware problems.  Sure, it could be coincidence that one of 
two cameras goes black after a while, and one of two got one of its 
settings zapped somehow.

No offense meant to IOXperts.  I'm watching the local Mac dealers like 
MacAdam finally get fed up with being undermined by Apple, and suspect 
Apple's taking the same approach to independent developers, no support.

I can't find the older version either:
