Is this the black model or the white model?

(They both work but use different chipsets)

It's not a known issue -- or a known failure mode.

Which model G4?

First step would be to reproduce with another application -- there's 
a copy of HackTV (Apple sample code) with a bit of instrumentation on 
our website:

Also, I'm assuming you're using iChatUSBCam with iChat -- with this 
release, I changed the output format for the newer (black) model to 
RGB only, which may be an issue.

If HackTV works, we should get Ecamm involved. (We work together regularly)
