Does anyone know what to do to get an iSight video camera system
(operating on the Mac OSX side) to function when using the video option
available on MSN Messenger 7.5 (Windows) version? Any help would be
appreciated.

There are no Windows drivers for the iSight, so its not going to work.
I don't think Apple has Windows drivers on its "to do" list either.

Anyway, you're better off doing video chat natively. The USB and
emulation overhead generally prevent this from working very well, if
at all.

AFAIK, Windows doesn't support FireWire video devices, only USB. Don't
think this is going to work for you.

Windows does support firewire and has for years. The issue is VPC.

Windows does support firewire, I agree, but the last time I researched it,
it didn't support firewire video input devices for items like NetMeeting,
etc.

But no need to argue a moot point. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work :-)

Best regards,
Chris

A little more research shows that firewire devices can indeed be used with
the newer versions of the OS. Guess it's been that long since I've actually
tried :-)

Thanks for setting the record straight.
