I rememebr I saw somewhere a long while ago that someone plugged in their webcam and used MaxMSp to show a live video footage of what they were doing on their camera.

Can anyone explain to me how that is possible? In addition, how would you do such a thing? Is it as simple as adding in a single object, or is it very complex.

Intel is broken, or a MacBook Pro can't run more than one USB camera...)

If you're using an existing third party driver (non-apple), chances 

are that it's CFM (which will work under 4.5 in Rosetta, but not in 

4.6 UB), though perhaps your camera is supported by the UB macam 

driver. One dumb workaround if your only option is to use a Rosetta 

driver is to run 4.5 and send over jit.net.send to 4.6 on the same 

machine, just using Rosetta/4.5 for the digitizer.

Here's the link to Macam (looks like this QuickCam model is 

supported, though several others have issues):

Hmm... I'll try again, but as I recall it's fine under 4.6UB on a 

TiBook, but not under 4.6UB on a MacBook.

That's most likely because UB can use CFM fine on PPC (no Rosetta 

emulation used since they are both native code), but on MacTel CFM 

cannot be used within UB due to Rosetta's "all or none" per process

That's most likely because UB can use CFM fine on PPC (no Rosetta  
emulation used since they are both native code), but on MacTel CFM  
cannot be used within UB due to Rosetta's "all or none" per process  
limitation.
