George,

The SIIG 2-meter (6.6 feet) from Fry's works. The connector pins quality on the one I picked up are so much better. It's a stiff cable though, it'll be interesting to see what happens when it's cold outside.

By the way, i-Chat launches and wants me to configure it when I plug the camera in. I just close it and then launch Astro IIDC with no problem.

Good Luck,

Paul

Hi George ;

The only other one I can think of that would need Camera access is
PhotoBooth.

IOXperts drivers might also be a possibility too, although Steve Sisak
generally is smarter than that and prefers to share resources - not
hog them like Apple does.

HTH..
