GEM uses the standard Quicktime SequenceGrabber API that most capture applications use. It's possible that GEM isn't finding the component for the camera - the console will have errors related to this. Do you have more than one capture device plugged in?
I have seen everything from $30 webcams to $3000+ DV cameras work in GEM, so I don't really know what's going on in your case.

Hmm. I just tried changing the colorspace, but that did not seem to help matters much. Again, the camera seems to be work with other programs that capture video, but not with Pd. Incidentally, I just tried running the same camera in to Pd/GEM on windows, and it causes the program to crash.
Should I get a refund on this camera and buy another that is better suited for PD/Gem and OS X? Has anyone had success with other camera models running in to pd/gem on os x?
thanks

Try changing the colorspace of the pix_video object. 'colorspace rgb' should do it.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience using the Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 on OS X with GEM, and [pix_video]. I just bought that camera, and I can get it to work with iCamShare, but with Pd I get no input and ths error message repeated over and over again:
GEM: pix_videoDarwin: no video yet pix_videoDarwin: SGIdle failed
if anyone can help I would be very appreciative.
thanks
