Available Adapters for Image Acquisition Toolbox on Mac?

Hi,

I'm trying to capture images from a pair of cameras using the image acquisition toolbox under Mac OS X. The cameras function properly in iMovie or PhotoBooth, however when I open the toolbox and "Refresh Image Acquisition Hardware", the cameras are not visible or accessible. The cameras are connected through an ADVC55 DV converter. Is there a driver or adapter that can be installed/is available to get the cameras working? Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Doug

Hi,

The problem may be that there is no 64-bit support for your device.

From a command prompt, try recording a new movie using:

arch -arch i386 /Applications/QuickTime\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime\ Player

and

/Applications/QuickTime\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime\ Player

If you find that it only works with the first command, then it is due to lack of 64-bit support on Mac OS X for your device.

I meant to say that if you find that it only works with the first command then the problem is due to lack of 32-bit support on Mac OS X for your device.
