Hi all
I've got a Powerbook G3, the first model with USB and firewire, the Pismo model. On my Quicksilver I can plug in my Panasonic PV-GS500 firewire video camera and it just works fine in iChat AV. However on this machine it says 'this computer does not support video conferencing'. If I install 10.3 instead, will it work then? I know it'd be slow, but it seems like it should work-I did video conference with my old blue and white G3 at 450, also a 100MHz system bus machine, and it had 512MB, the same RAM as this one. Performance was surprisingly decent on that box. I had 10.4 then as well.
Is there a utility I can use to fool iChat into using this Mac to video conference? This isn't my main machine, but I'll be soon going to Europe on vacation, and I bought it an Airport card as well, so it'd be nice to be able to plug the camcorder into it when videoconferencing with the folks at home, so they could see what was up.
I searched the forums for iChat, iChat video, and iChat video conference and surprisingly, nothing came up at all. But I did try before asking. Thanks in advance!
