I want to use the PS3 Eye camera for a motion tracking patch. The patch works fine with the build in webcam on my laptop but for some reason I can't get jit.qt.grab to find the PS3 eye camera. I send it the getvdevlist message but only get back my built in webcam as an available device. I've got macam installed and the PS3 camera is working, I just can't get the feed into my patch!

It's probably something silly that I'm overlooking, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Some people have reported that installing QT7 helps: 

I had similar trouble with the PS3 cam a few months back and ended up getting a LifeCam instead.

Thanks. I've managed to get max to pick up the camera's feed. It seems I had the driver installed in the wrong folder! But I'm only getting a still image from the camera. I don't suppose you know why this might be...

try to use this modified version of the driver:

Hi,

Thanks man. Didn't seem to work unfortunately. Still just getting a frozen image. Guess I'll just have to try another camera.

In fact, after searching round google, it seems there is currently no version of macam that works with mavericks(which is what I'm on)... So I guess I'm screwed! :(
