在 Mac OS X 中使用摄像头

有部分摄像头没有提供 Mac OS X 的驱动,或者虽然提供了驱动,但实际上并不能正常使用,我的 Logitech QuickCam Zoom 摄像头就是这样,虽然 Logitech 提供了官方的 Mac 驱动,但是使用官方的驱动,接上摄像头,发现图像很暗,根本无法使用。

如果您也遇到上面的问题,那么我向您推荐 macam 这款针对在 Mac OS X 中使用摄像头的免费的通用驱动程序。大家可以在它的主页下载。

我在 Logitech QuickCam Zoom + PowerBook G4 + macam + Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard + Skype 2.6.0.184 的环境下已经安装成功,可以正常的视频聊天了。

在 Mac OS X 中使用 USB 游戏手柄

真不知道为什么 Mac OS X 不自带一个通用的游戏手柄驱动,如果您的游戏手柄不带 Mac 的驱动,那么您可以试试下面这个驱动及手柄设置工具。

USB Overdrive

USB Overdrive 是 shareware ,可以从它的主页下载。如果不注册,虽然有讨厌的提示框弹出,但是可以永久的使用,并且无功能限制。您可以试试。

我的 MIZY USB 游戏手柄 + PowerBook G4 + USB Overdrive 已经顺利的设置好,可以在游戏中正常使用。
