Subject: Continuing Camera Woes

There is only one way to guarantee that my DMK 21AF04 will work

on one of my Macs -- plug it into a Windows machine first.

Sometimes the camera works on my Macs, sometimes it doesn't.

If it is working and I have to unplug it for some reason it will not

re-start unless I plug it into a Windows machine, start the

Windows software, and then quit the software and disconnect

the camera and very soon connect it to a Mac.

When the camera works on the Mac I cannot say why -- there is no

consistent behaviour that would allow me to say "It works

if I do this..."

Every piece of software that I have on the Mac that can use the camera

recognizes the camera -- Astro IIDC, EvoCam, BTV Pro, QuickTime,

EquinoX -- but the camera sends only a blank white screen.

The camera behaves this way on six Macs. It isn't the FW cable --

I have tried many of them that work with other devices.

The camera always works with its included Windows software.

Ideas?

Thanks,

David
