Snow leopard Support?

[Guillermo Enriquez]

Thanks for your quick reply

I see the problem now.
As you said, I am using a IIDC FireWire camera and uses Bayer color. 
I also tried HackTV application and as you said I can see 3 cameras
Built-in iSight,
Point Grey (probably using ioxperts drivers?) and
camera (Which is also Point Grey camera but color rendering is correct)

Also tried QTRecorder (see below link) and also can see 3 cameras but
Point Grey  shows only grey colors and 
the third one "camera" does not render well colors (as you said). In fact it shows pure black frames.

I might be misunderstanding it but, current QT is X  so it means 3rd party can develop with QT 7? Or this affect all QT?

I see

Also I have I new idea but, I don't know it will work, (It might take some time to test it) and also this might not the right place to ask about libdc1394.

If I try libdc1394 do I have chances to get correct color frames from my camera?

I did a search and found that there are some private frameworks  that if used, one could get correct behavior (maybe)?(Jun 2007)

Perhaps this is the way HackTV is done?
I wonder if there is a place I can get HackTV code? 

It would be a good idea to write some requests or bug report to Apple. but what exactly should i write? That QuickTimeX does not render well color that come from a camera with RGB Bayer color frames?

Thanks.
