I'm having problems getting pix_video to work with the build-in iSight camera on my MacBook. There is no video in the gemwin, just a white rectangle. When I send it a message to open the control panel, GEM hangs (it seems only GEM hangs, I get the beach ball when I hover over the GemWin, but can still move and edit the Pd patch)
I've got this on 2 different machines, one 2007 black MacBook and one white 2010 machine. Both run 10.6.8 with latest updates applied.
Does anyone else have this problem? Found a solution or even just a work-around?
This is coming at the worst of times when tomorrow I need to start teaching a motion capture course...
Which version of Pd? It definitely won't work if you downloaded the
64-bit build.

As far as I know Pd-extended 0.42.5 32-bit works on Mac OS X 10.6. The 64-bit version does not include Gem.

OK, so it was the 32-bit version I had installed all along. I downloaded and installed a fresh copy and tried again. The problem persists. This is when using the pix_video help patch.
Pd window prints this error: error: [pix_videoDarwin]: SGIdle failed with error -9402 [pix_videoDarwin]: no video yet
