re: Video in Keynote, I *believe* that the video input is disabled in
some uses of Quartz Composer, for example when rendered online, for
safety.

/Keith.

Keith's correct here -- Safe Mode is enabled in Safari, QuickTime, and Keynote, so compositions that use "unsafe" patches (anything that takes in user-side private input -- audio, video, filesystem, midi, etc -- not mouse, keyboard though) won't work as expected, and you'll see some cute messages in the console (Console.app).

we created a QC program to simply take a video stream from the firewire input & make it float over a 'desktop'....basically making a 'iChat', but without the iChat interface (see link above)...we also use it to simulate a photographer feeding a photoshop-esque-type screen with a live feed from a
digital still camera....

this worked like a charm in Tiger, but seems to have died in Leopard


Can you elaborate a bit more than just saying "it died"? As in, does it kernel panic? that's a pretty lousy death, but it's unlikely (unless you're on Snow Leopard ;). Does it crash? Does it not operate as expected? If any of those are true, please provide a kernel panic log, a crash log, a screen shot, or a description of what it's doing/what you expect.

Some of the function calls to float windows over the desktop may have changed from Tiger to Leopard, but it's nothing insurmountable. a few lines of code to change, and you should be back in business. We'll need more details to know which lines those are, however.... :)
