Hi Philip,

If the database actually says "Supported" then that is based on someone
actually reporting a working camera. I use the "Should Work" label even
when I am pretty sure it should work.

A grey screen is better than black!
Try playing with the settings, see if anything changes, esp compression.

Good luck and let me know,
Thanks,
Harald

Hi all,

I have tested macam with a cheap generic chinese cam, using the
ZC0301 chipset.
USB info comes up as

PC Camera:
   Version:     1.00
   Bus Power (mA):      500
   Speed:       Up to 12 Mb/sec
   Manufacturer:        Vimicro Corp.
   Product ID:  0x301b
   Vendor ID:   0x0ac8

macam recognises the camera, configures the window with message
"connected to generic ZC0301p webcam", but on pressing "play" only a
grey screen is seen.

A bit mystified as to why this isn't working,.. several entries in
the supported cameras table have the same VID/PID and chipset,

Any thoughts? Anyone else have a generic ZC0301p which they're
successfully using with macam 0.90?

Phil.
