Welcome to Discussions, DillonR333
(1) I am not certain exactly what you are trying to do because hotmail is email. If you merely want to attach a video clip to an email, your iSight can do that without mercury.
(2) If you are looking for a video chat app that is compatible with the Windows Live chat server, consider the following:
• http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger-8/default.mspx
Because Microsoft has apparently changed its protocols, the old Mac alternatives
(Microsoft Messenger for Mac, Mercury, and aMSN) will no longer connect for video.
For more info, see: http://tinyurl.com/ycxnbpr
(3) Any video chat apps, including the above, can work with your built-in iSight. If you think you iSight may be faulty, troubleshoot as recommended here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(4) If you have problems video chatting even though your iSight works with Apple apps like QuickTimeX and iMovie, your problem is likely software. You will need to determine whether you are using the correct client app for the chat servers that your contacts use. Ask your contacts to tell you what computer, OS, and application they are using for video chat. From that info, we can determine which software you need to run to connect to the same chat server they are using.
(5) If your problem remains although you have compatible client software and your iSight works with Apple apps, you may have a bad download or install of the software. You can try downloading and reinstalling again.
(6) We will watch for your status update. If you need more suggestions, give as much info as you can about what you are trying to do and what you have tried that does not work. We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.

Massive video/audio lag using built in camera

Trying to make a simple video using the built in isight. When i try it using photo booth or imovie the video and audio are all out of sync and laggy. Computer is working at "best performance" setting with no other apps open...
Opening the .mov file shows the result is out of sync on quicktime as well.

Hello G E2
You have made a good start and already considered a couple of the most likely possibilities that could have caused your problem:
• CPU performance settings and
• multiple apps running
re: CPU performance setting: I am not certain, but your MBA may run even faster when it is connected to power that when running on battery, even with the processor performance setting configured for best performance. If you are not already running on AC power, do a test while plugged in and see if that helps.
re: multiple apps: Consider the possibility of background widgets or apps that might be running. If you have not already tested this way, restart your Mac to eliminate possible widgets, quit all startup items, verify that Spotlight is not your indexing disk, and verify that no Time Machine backups are running. Then test video recording again.
If you do not get your problem corrected otherwise, consider the relevant suggestions in this list of possibilites regarding A/V recording sync issues:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
Some of them may not be relevant to your MBA, but you may find something helpful there.
If your problem is as bad after any actions you try from that list, when you post back for other ideas, give the details of any new info you found as a result of the additional checks / tests / actions. We will try to offer detailed suggestions in reply to your specific new info and questions.

I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
Backing up is good.

Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

Can I video record with iMac?

Can I record video directly with the built-in iMac camera?
I am using OS X 10.8.3

You have different ways of recording video with the built-in camera:
1. Using Photo Booth. It's an application preinstalled with OS X where you can record videos.
2. Using QuickTime Player. As db24401 said, open it and go to File menu > New Movie Recording.
3. Use a third-party application. They include more features that you may want. I recommend Screenflow

Can't video/audio with some persons

Since i update to Leopard i have an unexplained problem. This is the situation:
Me (Macbook 10.5) - Sister (Macbook 10.4) : we can audio and video chat
Dad (iMac G5 10.4) - Sister (Macbook 10.4): they can audio and video chat
Me - Dad : we can't audio and video chat, but we can text chat
If my sister begins a 3-way video chat: it works!!!!!!
All of us have a wifi router.
I checked everything (ports, internet sharing....).... although as with my sister there are no problems i suspect that wouldn't be the solution...
What do you thing? Any ideas?

It can be about ports or about speed as first choices.
If one is on Leopard first Video port is 16402 and all data (vid in, Vid out, Audio in Audio out) is on this port.
If unsuccessful it moves DOWN one port. (for 10 ports)
iChat 3 uses 4 ports in 1-1 vids and starts at 16384 (-16387) and moves UP. (to a potential of 20 ports 4 at a time.
In some cases with the iChat 3 person doing Port Forwarding and having a limited table to do so there is a gap.
However a third party may be able to connect to them (Host in Multichat) and then re-display their Video.

Shooting a video with the built in camera?

Hi,
How do you shoot a video with your built in camera on the new iMac? Is this possible? If so what are the steps (or a website to direct me too?) involved and what format will it be in when it's done? I know using Quicktime Pro I can change the format later for a blog, website or Powerpoint. How do you find the code for the video (like the inbed code you see on youtube to upload a video onto a blog?
Thanks,
S.

Capturing live video from an iSight camera
Using iSight with iMovie

HT1338 Is there any way I can capture video of myself using the iMac built-in camera?

I would like to do a self-interview for use in a movie project. Can I capture video of myself using my iMac built-in camera? Is there an app somewhere that allows me to do this?

Use Photo Booth - and select the "film clip" icon at the lower left of the window.

Which IM programs work with my built in camera?

Basically just looking for which im programs will work with the built in cam on my macbook, i know of course that apples ichat works but i dont have a .mac account and dont intend on one at the moment.
Also if anyone knows, my wife and I share the macbook at home, we have separate user accounts, how would we be able to share our photos across users, ie, we want iphoto to include the photos ether of us add as accessable by the other using iphotos and have them in the iphoto library, infact would would simply like to just have one photos and one videos and one music folder from which we both access and add to.

Greetings,
A dedicated shared folder setup under the main "Users" folder that holds all user accounts with access permissions assigned for both of you will work very well. There is a small little app called "iPhoto Buddy" that is a great little tool that's made for managing multiple iPhoto libraries.
SightSpeed is a very good IM video program for video chat/conferencing - I have used it since it came out and it is cross platform. You can use about any email address as a user name, and the quality is very good - it has many functions, but is very simple to use.
Good Stuff - Cheers.

New to MACs and need help with a built-in video camera in MACBOOK

My mother and father just purchased a new MACBOOK a few weeks ago. They reside in Florida and we live in Indiana. We have a wireless camera that is connected to our wireless router. We call my parents and talk to them while we are on camera so they can see their grandchild.
I just found out their new MACBOOK had a built-in camera and I'm wondering how we can set that up so we can see them at the same time? Our child would love to be able to see his grandparents while we talk to them.
Our wireless camera has a built-in server and runs to a specific spot on our website so they can access it. But I don't know how the MAC works or what to do to tell them to set up the computer so we can see them.
Can someone direct me to some instructions on what I can do or give me some direction? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
John

I use a Dell Dimension for my computer. I do not use Skype at all. The wireless camera we have on our home network is a Dlink 900. It does not have any sound capabilities so we were not too worried about being able to have a true "video conference" with their laptop. We jsut wanted to be able to see them. I don't know if that video image can be sent to a webpage (like our d-link camera does) or not. Or, maybe there is a much easier way of doing this that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for your response.

Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through. Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center. Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually. They just won't run. Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues.
First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port. I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i. I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens. Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen. I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires. When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer. So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened. I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software. Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results. I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv. Problems as described above still apply.
Anybody else have this issue? Anybody got a fix?

have you found a solution to this?
My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
*edit*
this worked for me i stumbled across this
I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked.

IChat audio and video hanging with no errors.

When trying to initiate an iChat video conference, a request never pops up for the receiver. However, when someone tries to initiate a video chat with me, the request pops up but when you accept it, it says starting Video Chat but it just hangs. I've turned off the firewall and turned off internet sharing with no luck. I did a package capture and found that all the checksums are zeros instead of what they normally should be. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,
Sounds like the issue is with your routing device.
The visible Invites are sent and received on port 5678 using the USP Protocol
If you Buddy is not getting is your router letting it through ?
It does sound Odd that you are getting Invites though as it would be unusual to Block Outgoing stuff and not Incoming stuff.
iChat 3 then moves to port 5060 (iChat 4 to port 16402) then uses a group of 4 from a list of 20 ports (16384-16403 for iChat 3) (iChat 4 stays just with port 16402)
It sounds like these are blocked or not open.
If they were open was it using Port Forwarding ?
If so does your computer have the IP the Ports point to ?

External Video Monitor with iMac possible.

Dear friends,
recently i have bought one imac 21.5" mid 2010 model. i am a film maker. i make TVC s, corporate docu, docu and short films. previously i worked hiring differnt post production studios but with growing volume of work i there was need for a personal edit setup. i have FC Studio 7 installed in my imav. i wanted to connect one external video monitor to facilitate the edit work flow. 1st i bought and connected a mini dp to vga adaptor and connected my 6 series samsung lcd tv with it. but the result was not satisfactory. now the lcd tv have become the second monitor and the system was working as dual monitor system. i wanted 1 video monitor as we get in pro studios. then i bought 1 mini dp to HDMI adapotor and connected it with the lcd tv throgh HDMI cable. fantastic. system took it automatically. Now i opened FCP, set a/v display to full screen, audio out to HDMI then view>external video>full frame. and u are through. now yuo can see the time line output in the LCD tv with sync audio. cheers. any better way to calibrate the second monitor?

Thanks a lot for your help.
If i consider an old model, maybe one with a DisplayPort input (late 2009 or mid 2010 iMac), is there a chance to connect the card with the DP input with a simple cable, or to verify the compatibility? The card has a DP output but many articles say that screen flickering or blue screen is the result...
Regards,
Andrea
