Which Logitech webcam is better - C910 or Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac?

The C910 looks like the better cam on paper and I read that Logitech just released full drivers for Mac, but others say the Quickcam is the best one for Mac users. I am running 10.5 on my MacBook and 10.6 on my i5 iMac, and would like to be able to use it on both.

Bearable but sub-optimal workaround is to record with QuickTime Pro and import into iMovie.

Logitech Quickcam Vision MP for Mac not completely working

Hi,
I got a Logitech Quickcam Vision Mp for Mac from an Apple store, but it's not completely working.
It works fine for iChat and Skype. However i doesn't work at all for iMovie, it says there is no camera atached, and it kind of works for Photo Booth. The problem is that I also have an EyeTv Hybrid, and
when it is connected, Photo Booth doesn't recognize my web cam at all. I get a black screen. If
the EyeTv Hybrid is not connected, then Photo Booth recognizes the web cam, but if I try to record
I only get video and no sound. Any suggestions? Is there a web cam that works for all the applications: iMovie, iChat, Photo Booth? If I got one of those old external iSight cameras that Apple doesn't sell anymore, would it work with my new intel Mac running Leopard?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I just purchased and connected my camera, also from the Apple store, and it works just find with Photo Booth and iChat. As for the sound issue, make sure that you've selected the "Logitech Camera" selection from within the Sound option under System Preference. Click the Input button to make your selection. I hope this resolved your issue.
Good luck!!!

Drivers for QuickCam Vision Pro for Macinstosh

Hi,
I first purchased a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 (http://tinyurl.com/cboyme)
even though it didn't claim to be Mac compatible. It did in fact work with
my Mac (10.4.11) and PC.
Using the PC software supplied I was able to zoom it in and out on the PC
(also able to adjust brightness and other camera functions). I decided that
the zoom feature was nice and came across what I thought was the Mac version
of the camera, QuickCam Vision Pro for Macintosh
(http://tinyurl.com/au32hm).
This camera came with no software and also works on the PC and the Mac.
Before I return the new camera which is $30 more expensive then the first
cam, is there any way, or drivers etc I can download so that I can control
some of the camera features on the Mac?
Thanks

Help- Using IChat 4.0.5 with Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro w/Mac Pro 10.5.4

Our only child just went away to college, so we bought a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro because it was supposed to be plug and play. He has a MacBook with the built-in iSight camera. We have a Mac Pro, so had to buy something in order to be able to communicate using visual/audio over iChat. I chose the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro because it was made specifically for Macs and was supposed to be plug and play. It had good ratings, as well, and since the original iSight camera wasn't available anymore...
We tried communicating tonight, and he couldn't see us at all, but could sometimes hear us. We could see him, but not hear him at all. Both of us are on broadband connections. He is using Tiger and we're using Leopard.
So, I tried communicating with a friend using a G5 Mac who had an iSight camera and running Leopard. She was able to see and hear me, but I could only see her, not hear her. We went through all my preference settings, using text messaging, and they all seemed to be fine. She suggested that I call Logitech, which I did.
The guy I spoke with at Logitech had me go through all my settings, and he said they were fine. It appears that the camera is sending video and audio, but I can only receive video, but not audio. I tried using headphones, internal speakers, and external speakers (plugged into the headphone jack). No joy.
Any eye deers?

Hi
First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.

Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac not working in iChat.

Whenever I try to use iChat with my Logitech camera i get either a message saying "there is no camera attached" or "another program is using the camera". Rebooting helps for a while and it will work, but if I open Preferences then the problem arises again. Unplugging the camera and replacing it is no help - even bypassing a hub and plugging directly into the computer. The audio works fine and the mic choice is the camera's - no problem. Skype video also works perfectly. This seems to be a problem ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard - I never had this problem before.

Hi,
Prior USB 2.0 and UVC compliant Cameras there has always been problems with Logitech cameras and their Drivers.
There were two third party Drivers for Macs that could be used and the iUSBCam utility.
However Broadly speaking UVC compliant cameras working over USB 2.0 and Snow Leopard have seen iUSBCam fall in to the Unsupported on Leopard group.
It seems that some of the Pro variants of Logitech cameras are still having issues with the Mac OS in Snow Leopard.
The Windows Vista Driver for UVC is/was fairly feature rich in what you could adjust/access about the camera settings.
The Mac version implemented at OS 10.4.9 is less frilly.
Some cameras are 1.3mp but ichat only uses a max of 640 X 480 pixels pics (0.3Mp) and it is unlcear if some cameras will allow this to work smoothly.
I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down APPLE(or ⌘)ALT+PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This may reset things further/deeper than a reboot does.
Based on historical evidence I would suspect the camera's side of the UVC implementation not allowing a proper step down to lower pixel sampling.
Of Course it could be the way Snow Leopard does this or the UVC driver in itself (although both seem to work with other makes of cameras)

Is there a better video converter than QT pro for Mac?

The title pretty much says it all...
Is there a better video converter for macs? One that possibly is faster, and could handle muxed files?
I've asked arround a bit in other places, and I've searched online, and what I can find is pretty much all for PC.

Thanks.
Yeah,I searched those, and they seem to be like they are going to kick butt.
So again, thanks a bunch.

Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro as a Flash webcam?

I need a webcam for my Mac Pro. I'm currently running Leopard but plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard soon. I'm looking at the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro, but I've read reviews that say it works well in applications like iChat and Skype, but isn't recognized as a webcam by Adobe Flash Player for use on Flash chat websites like tinychat.com and stickam.com. I really need a webcam that is recognized and compatible with Flash Player.
Can anyone with a Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro confirm whether it works through Flash player on sites like tinychat or stickam? If not, can anyone recommend a webcam that works well on a Mac for Flash-driven sites like these?

I have logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on mac 10.8.2 Are there conversions to accomplish this?

I have old logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on Mac 10.8.2. How do I make conversions to accomplish this.

My son suggested a fix that worked for me. I was trying to convert some videos taken 10 years ago using a Logitech Quickcam. The videos were saved as video email player which made them exe files. The fix is to use a screen capture program (we used Bandicam) to capture the video while playing the video file. Had to save them as WMV files which I then converted to M4V files to play on my MAC. I could size the capture window which made it a perfect fit to the video. It turned out great as I now can play those videos in Windows Media Player, and Quick Time. I am no longer in danger of loosing precious family videos. Thank you for all your help.

IMovie 8 doesn't recognize my Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro

I have iMove 8 and just bought a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro. When I brought up iMovie, it wouldn't recognize the camera. What preference did I forget?

Try http://www.bensoftware.com/btv/index.html for capture.
Also try requesting more support with http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ in the forum.
As for quicktime and ibooth, they seem to just make the cam go dark and stay dark until the cam is unplugged and put back in.
This thread gives some hint as to why :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1749742&start=0&tstart=0
" The Mac OS only has the default Universal Video Drivers (UVD) for most any USB based video camera." The cam does show up as a Logitech device, just very dark with any Apple app.

Webcam: Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro

OS: latest Lion 10.7.2
Issues:
The above webcam no longer has an audio channel when recording is done using the QuickTime application.
Switching over to the latest iMovie '11, when I click on the camcorder icon, it says "No camera connected"
Going to AboutThisMac>MoreInfo>Hardware>USB>LogitechCamera> says it is recognized by the OS at the device level.
Any ideas what is going on?

Which do you like better....Printer Pro or Print n Share Pro?

Which do you like better for your iPad...."Printer Pro" or "Print n Share Pro"? I'm sort of agonizing over this. They both look good, but maybe one has better support? I will appreciate any opinions I can get.

from personal experience print n share pro is my choice
also depends what you want from the app? i use it on my ipad to email stuff and print it, as well as print from google chrome which i have installed and also some of my photos i print, as i like to make collages from them or use them for reference etc
its brilliant for email as i find the standard Mail so frustrating to use
from what i recall the developers are eurosmartz - i think they have a website so check them out, not sure can post links here
hope that this helps for a better informed choice

Is there a way to import video/audio clips from Logitech webcam?

I just purchased a used Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac. A Logitech driver is apparently not required. I connected it to a USB port on my mini. I couldn't find any way of downloading Photo Booth so I downloaded Funny Photographer (http://homepage.mac.com/spillnerclan/fabian/funnyphotographer/Funny%20Photograph er.html).
With Funny Photographer I am able to capture still photos.
Eventually, I intend using the webcam with Skype. In the meantime I would like to capture audio and video clips. This is not possible in iMovie6 (at least with a USB device). Is there a way to do this? Might Quicktime PRO work? Thanks.

Hi Owen,
I don't know about QT Pro, but Snapz Pro X allows you to effortlessly record anything on your screen, saving it as a QuickTime® movie or...

Advice for mac compatible webcam that is wideangled enough for conferencing

I am working with a company who is currently using a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for one of their conference rooms, the quality is okay but it is only able to capture half of the room. There is no way to reposition it to capture more of the room so I was wondering if anyone knew of a webcam that might be better suited for wider views. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

Which Logitech webcam is better - C910 or Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac?
