VDC is what stops photo booth from working and since I removed it I can use photo booth. Those two things are: VDC.plugin & I believe RawCamera.bundle. Now there are a few other things that like to mess with those working. Those MUST be installed for any cam to work. ponent, & ponent are the main two that you need to worry about. The next part of the puzzle are the quicktime components. Without detection of your camera you are SOL. If you dont see your camera under there then you need to focus on a new AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext which will make your camera show up in there. If you go under about this mac and look under your USB devices and see your camera with details like this:
#Uvc camera control mac driver#
IOUSBFamily.kext which holds AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext which is the main driver for detection of any camera.
#Uvc camera control mac mod#
I'm not really a coder but I do mod a lot of things and to do that you have to know all of the parts that make up the cam working.

I dont know exactly how to edit these component drivers yet or if they can simply be edited without a lot of knowledge about coding. On my machine because the UVC component driver sees my cam it does not need the extra Sonix SN9C201 component but it only partially works, which is my problem. The package only installs the component if you need it. Mine does not work because of the sonix package which is actually a component for quicktime. Now in macam's source code there is this driverĭo you know how to edit the uvc driver or the macam source code (i'm a noob at this stuff) Gotta test a few things out.īut do you know what actually makes the cam work?Ĭoz yours is working because of the sonix monitorĪnd came to know its a bisonCam which is run by the ali m560x driver Now that I know what its call I also think I found the solution to the problem with photo booth & hopefully the problem with ichat but who knows. I have been unable to find this kext online anywhere but when I find it I plan to try this in leopard.

Supposedly the version of AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext from 10.4.9 is the best version for working with the most amount of cams out there. In particular the AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext is the plugin. IOUSBFamily is the kext that needs to be edited. If I knew what the UVC driver was called in OSX id take a look at it and see if it can be manually edited. We need either someone to come along and help here or hope that apple can fix the UVC driver to support lower res cams.

That guy made a driver for linux for a mac's built in isight because apparently the mac driver (which can be used in linux) does not follow the UVC standard very well. With a better UVC cam driver we can get the support without it were stuck with partial support.

That is why photo booth does not work and same with ichat. The UVC driver in OSX forces the cam into to high a res for mine and others 1.3MP cam to handle. Please post a response and we will be glad to aid you and help beta test your ideas. If anyone with the caliber of knowledge would like to help 51% of the population of OSX users with built in laptop cams work with all the other OSX apps.

In order to get full support we will have to modify something or one of the hard core Unix/OSX experts would have to take up this cause & help. Sonix cams seems to have partial native support in OSX but its not complete. Is your camera a sonix camera? What brand do you have? It will only work with sonix monitor if you have a sonix cam. I took your suggestion and my cam doesnt workīut it doesnt work in pip, macam or sonix I would love to figure this out and get this cam working. The interface of that is exactly the same as photobooth. So my questions is why do some of these apps work and others dont? Why does OSX system see the cam during account setup and allow you to use it but then refuses to use it with photobooth. All you get though is a green or black screen from them. Ichat, photobooth & other mac apps can not use the cam however they do turn it on and attempt to. If you use adium x you can once again access the same exact app (apple UVC plugin I believe) used above to once again take a picture for use as your aviator in adium x. Also later under accounts in system preferences.

During install of 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 but not 10.5.0 I actually can use my cam to take a picture for use as a login pic. You can get the sonix webcam monitor from here:Ģnd. There is also video viewer which does the exact same thing. like many of you with Sonix cams you probably have used the Sonix SN9C201 driver which gives you a webcam monitor app which will show you the picture from the cam but does nothing else. Ok since there is no thread about webcams that are detected but dont work I figured I would share my experience with my cam that is completely detected but does not work in OSX and see if anyone else has the same results.ġst.
