On my old PowerPC iBook I used Videoscript and the macam webcam driver
with a CGI system I wrote to take webcam pictures via a webpage, from
my external Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000. With my relatively new
Intel-based iMac I'm not having any success in getting Videoscript to
take pics (they come out all black). I've tried the IOXperts driver,
too, but with no luck, and Logitech's driver results in all kinds of
error messages in /var/log/system.log.
My question- has anyone used Videoscript with an Intel Mac, or in
general, any suggestions as to command line-based apps to take a
picture with an external camera? I tried macaw, but the pics all come
out dark, and isightcapture, which seems good in general, but I
haven't determined how to make it use the external cam rather than the
built-in (its -i option to specify input will accept 0 and 1, which
both use the built-in camera)...
Thanks!
