If you own a Mac computer and would like to use an external USB webcam instead of the default iSight camera that came installed on the computer, there is a simple process to combat the problem. Nikon has 'Camera Control Pro 2' ($$) and there is a program call Sofortbild (mac, free) which support 'live view' and remote capture via usb or firewire. I have not used either. Perhaps you merely replace the live camera cap software in step 2 of the page which you posted.

I just bought a rocketfish webcam (from Future Shop) because it was one of the few that were compatible with a PowerBook G4.
I installed the webcam driver from the CD that came with it. When I open up the WebCam Monitor the camera the picture looks great and everything seems to be working fine. I can see everything I should expect to see like the top part of my body and some of the background. I then tried using my webcam with Skype. I went into Preferences and opened up the video tab to see a preview of how it looks in Skype.
It detects my webcam with no problem except that in Skype the camera is zoomed in to what would be the top right corner of what the WebCam Monitor sees. If I close Skype and check the camera again in WebCam Monitor (being sure never to have both open at the same time) it once again shows the whole view with no problem. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Edited by Macster, 13 May 2008 - 03:20 PM.
