I was wondering if anyone has been able to get Apples iSight to work with a
PC running Windows XP?

It should be seen as a generic 1394 camera but before I go out and buy one I
wanted to ???check??? And yes I know the sound won't work but I'm only
interested in the video.

Yes, it works exactly as you think. I've been using one since it came out.
Very little can be adjusted but it is clearer than anything else and the
automatic focus was working fine until I tried using Griffins'firewire
SightLight which was a ring that fit around the insight to provide more
light. What mine provided was a lot of heat, and that, I think, caused the
automatic focus to stop working. Anyway, I am still happy with it.

Paul,

I went out and purchased the iSight but I'm having a few problem's. You
mentioned that their was "Very little can be adjusted" but I can't seem to
find anyplace to adjust anything. The primary problem I'm having is that the
if I have any light present (other then a dark room ) it totally washes out
the picture ... is their any way you've found to adjust this?

This is my first attempt at a web came so I haven't installed any web cam
software other then what comes with Windows XP. Also when I went into the
imaging devices / generic 1394 desktop camera / driver details I found the
sys file sonydcam.sys. Do you have the same driver???

I really appreciate any help on this.
Chris
