Digital camera with iChat

I have a digital camera with a usb connection. Can I use that for a video chat? I'm using chat 3.1.9
Thanks, Michael

Hi,
Most likely the answer is No.
I have a Kodak DC4800 It connects to iPhoto over USB.
It can not be seen as a Live Camera over this route.
It does in fact have a very small single channel socket (Smaller than a 3.5mm jack) that has a RCA connector on the other end.
This can be used to Display pics on a TV Screen (There is a Menu item in the Set up for PAL or NTSC) which can be handy to take Indoor pics if you can not see the display properly. If you have a VCR Recorder you can record video that way.
I used it to go through a DV converter.
This was used to convert an Analogue CamCorder but I tried it with the camera.
If the Video can be seen over USB in say iMovie (It can see many more Video codecs than iChat or Photo Booth) or Quicktime Player (if you have the Pro capabilities to Record) then it will be a question of an Utility for iChat. (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/) This can change the codecs of some USB cameras that have drivers and can be "Seen" in various other apps. (Essentially it converts it to DV format).
If the USB feed can not be seen in any App you would need a Mac Driver for it much like you would for a WebCam.
There are Third party Drivers fro many web cams as well as some cameras coming with drivers on the Install Disk or downloadable from the Manufacturer's Web Site.
However these tend not to exist for Stills cameras, nor do the third Party ones work.

Digital Camera with Video Capability

Being the father of newborn twins, I've agonized over the pros and cons of having either a digital video camera that can take skills, or quality digital camera with video capability. What digital cameras offer the best video options?

TheLexMachine wrote:
If you can afford it, get a camcorder that takes stills. The quality is on par with a point and shoot camera and you get better video than you'd get out of a digital still camera that takes video.
Camcorders take terrible stills. I have tried all of the top-of-the-lines camcorders from Panasonic, Canon and Sony and none of them takes even a halkfway decent still. A P&S will still take far superior photos to any camcorder.
Rrrrrrr wrote:
Taking photos or taking videos. I'd go for the one you think you'd do more of.
I would agree with that.
If you can afford both, get both. If you can't, then check out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. It takes good stills and pretty good 720p video for about $240. If you want a very good camera that takes better 1080p video than most (all?) consumer camcorders, then check the Panasonic DMC-GH1K, which goes for over $1000. It is a DSLR so its stil capabilities will be well beyond any of the other cameras I mentioned. If you decide to purchase 2 seperate pieces of equipment, then you could also check out the Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR for stills(about $200) and the Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V for video (about $750) or the Panasonic HDC-HS250 ($600). I would avoid the Canon camcorders right now unless you can afford the S-series cams, as the lower models don't provide very good indoor video for the money.

Incompatability with Samsung Digimax 350SE digital camera

After my original G5 imac going to the wall within the warranty period - I was offered a new 17in Mac Intel as a replacement. I paid I traded in the extended warranty and paid a little bit extra and purchased the 20ins 2MB model. Unfortunately I did not know of any of the problems with them and after 3 months of **** with my G5 I was just so excited to have a mac that worked.
Then I tried to use my digital camera and in profiles the mac said it was there, but nothing appeared on the desktop, so I couldn't access any of my photos. So I contacted Apple who said I would need drivers for my new mac intel to see the camera (unfortunately Samsung don't have drivers for the mac). So my next option is to get a card reader that reads compact flash cards. I was considering the Lexar multi-card USB 2.0 card reader. However, I am a bit anxious that if I connect the usb cable I will have the same problem. Can anyone recommend a card reader that they know works with the new Imac Intel Core Duo?

I'll add the suggestion to try any, or all, of these that might help to play them properly:
VLC
Perian
Streamclip

Using a portable digital recorder with MAC

my bad - I just bought a panasonic portable digital recorder (about $70).
I was assuming I could use it with my Mac OS X - I don't know why I assumed that, I just took it for granted that these recorders were like digital cameras, they would automatically work with any computer that had a USB input.
wrong! when I connect it to the Mac, the recorder lights up and says "PC," as it is supposed to, and then, when I go into "about this mac" in the system profiler, it finds something on the USB port -
but other than than that, I don't know how to access what's on the recorder - it doesn't mount on the desktop like a camera (I assumed it would).
Can anyone help? is there any software out there that can read this little recorder - it's the Panasonic RR-US395.
thanks!

powerMac G5 single processor Mac OS X (10.4.1)

What software came with ? I have used DVRs for years. The Olympus is what I currently use. Still using an older model though as I like the cradle type computer connection. All was fine until 10.4. I got it going on the MBP finally but gave up on the G4 as I don't boot it into 10.4 anymore and it does work fine in <3.9. It was a combination of timing on the install on the MBP. Plugged the unit in about 1/2 way through installation and had to have it connected and restarted before it actually worked. Random luck. It started asking me for a "key" number and no docs mentioned anything about this so I plugged the unit in and it continued to install. Installation would hang prior to this point if the device was plugged in first though.
Do any apps try to launch when connected? I would also check iTunes and GarageBand or any other video/audio apps that you may have to see if it's "recognized" and shows up there anywhere. Does iPhoto think a camera is connected? As by design that is/was Apple's goal with 10.4. Ultimate connectivity. Everything that connects to your machine these days is categorized by class or "family" of products. Specific products i.e. Panasonic RR-US395, are "children" This is supposed to simplify things for HW/SW manufacturers creating products that are compatible with the Mac and if they don't Mac should be able communicate with it anyway providing basic I/O functionality void of product specific features. Reading your post I realized I have not even seen a reference to DVRs as being a device "family" and I am wondering if this has something to do with it as the MBP required me to install DSS Player.
It is my contention that there is a serious issue with this I/O Kit (actually at the kernel level that the kit communicates with) and I am curious exactly what kind of "something" Profiler sees. A screen shot of the page w/ all the lists extended would be a great help.
There is a Dictation/Transposing SW available I have since lost it and don't remember the name. Will try to hunt it down again as it was very useful, I downloaded it used it a few times and it worked great. Found a couple others with it that were free as well. Worked with various different DVR's and formats MacUpdate maybe?
If there is no other way to connect it you can get a cable to go from the headphone jack on the DVR to the line in on the G5 record it w/ QT, GarageBand or the like.
If you still have 9 installed Simple text allows you to record sounds as well.
If you can return it Olympus does include Mac SW.
FWIW

Olympus Digital Camera with HP 950PSC printer

Hi there.. i have a IMac G4 flat panel, the pod design.
I just bought a Olympus Camedia X-550 Digital camera... I have a HP 3-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax. It is model PSC 950.
I know that the Olympus takes a xD memory card. Can those be used for the HP PSC 950? If not.. is there some adaptor i can use.
I don't have the printer hooked up with the computer yet.. as i don't have room for everything on my computer table.
Of course I'd like to download picture onto my computer too.. but don't want them to hog all my memory.. or worse lose them altogether should the computer crash... Wouldn't it be wise to put these photos onto CD disc and can these be the same type of CD disc that i use to burn my music CD's?
thanks for your time

When you print, there is a setup dialogue. Select "Page Setup" then your printer should show up in the drop-down box, click "Properties" you should see three tabs. click on advanced and uncheck the box for automatic enhancement. Keep pluggin' away, we'll find something eventually.

2nd disc that came with Mac Air

I can't believe that the MacAir is really working and quite effortlessly except that it took almost 12 hours to move everything wirelessly from my iBook to the MacAir. I don't want to go looking for trouble, but what is the 2nd disk for that came with the Mac Air?

Drn,
In case you're wondering what Xcode is-

To the majority of users, this program suite is dead HD space that can be better allocated to photos, music and movies. But it's a fantastic/core tool for the development community.

Best Nikon/Sony/Canon Digital Camera with Movie Mode

I'm a senior in high school and I'm interested in film and photography; I lik to record EVERYTHING and take a LOTS of pictures. So I'd like a camera that performs fairly well using both picture and video mode.
And because I'm a senior my budget is about $400. So any tips or suggestions would help a lot.
Thanks so much,
Jasmine

Hi jasmine,
I have to start by saying that for $400 you are restricted to point-and-shoot cameras, and although you should be able to get a very nice point-and-shoot camera for still photography in this price range the video capability of the camera will be limited.
I would suggest getting point-and-shoot camera for your still images, and a camcorder for your videos. You should be able to get both for around $400. I would say budget $200 for the still camera, and $200 for a camcorder. To see the digital cameras we sell for $200 or less you could look here, and to see the camcorders we sell for $200 or less you could look here.
I hope this helps!

Using digital camera with ibook

i have a nikon coolpix 5600 and i cant get it to come up onthe desktop.
my computer recognizes it, when i plug it into the computer (via usb) it automatically opens iphoto to upload the pictures, but it doesnt come up on the desktop or anything. i want it to so that i could upload movies from the camera.
are there any preferences that i'm supposed to set? or is this just going to always be like this and i not be able to use the movie function.
the camera came with a program (picture project) and that used to upload/organize the photos and videos, but it ran very slow and would crash all ther time, so i stopped using and uninstalled it in favor of iphoto.
any advice?

Which version of iPhoto do you have? Version 5 should import movies as well as pictures. You can also use the Image Capture application (in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder) to download the movies and pictures individually.

Samsung Smart Panel - compatibility with Mac OS X Lion

Am using a MacBook Air with OS X Lion and have a Samsung CLP-315 color laser printer in the office. My concern is that the Smart Panel does not seem to work with 10.7 Lion. This is a bummer since I can't seem to determine the amount of toner left in my cartridges, unlike when I was using 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Does anybody know if the Smart Panel is already compatible with 10.7 Lion - or alternatively, does anyone know how I can determine the content of my toner cartridges? The LEDs on the control panel on the printer only tells me when they're actually empty - so it doesn't really help.

Smart panel works OK for me on Lion but the printer is CLP325-w. (though only recently updated and Im pretty sure it was ok on the CLP315 too.
To check status go to system preferences>Print&Scan and the check the options and supplies box. You should be able to see 4 toner levels.
Also, what happens when you actually choose to print? On mine I get a box appear which actually shows toner levels each time.
I'm not actually in the office right now so I'll check later and post again if I can add anything.

Using a camera with mac book

How do I:
Use a camera to record a business site and then view the recording with my Mc Book Pro? The Mac Book would not necessarily be continuously connected to the camera.
Thanks

Assuming the camcorder is digital, and can record continuously for long enough to cover the longest required off-hours time interval, with a wide enough angle of view to cover the necessary area, at a high enough resolution for its recordings to be useful, and assuming it uses removable storage media such as SDHC or SDXC cards, and further assuming that you have enough such cards to keep the camcorder supplied with storage media for as long as the intervals are likely to be between occasions when you might need to view the video, and further assuming you will always have sufficient hard drive space (internal or external) to store a full card's worth of video when necessary, then all you should need is a card reader capable of handling the type of card the camcorder uses, and viewing software on the Mac that can handle whatever video file format the camcorder uses. Both of those will be very inexpensive. Making sure the camcorder is suitable, getting it well placed, providing it with media, and making sure it's running at the right times and maintained properly will be the challenges.
If you're in doubt about any of the many considerations mentioned here or about any others that go into designing a video security system, you should consult a well-thought-of local company that specializes in designing and setting up such systems. It may turn out that this isn't something you can address adequately with a do-it-yourself solution.

Can`t connect to Samsung NV 11 digital camera

Anybody has the same problem?

I can`t see it on the desktop, it neither appears in iPhoto, Image Capture or Finder. Can`t find a PTP or Mass Storage option in the menu.
Before with Leopard, I just connected via USB and switched the camera on. In a menu I then could decide wether to print direcly or connect to my Mac.
Now, even the menu on the camera display does not appear. I only can shoot some pictures or look at them on the camera display.
