hey guys,
so i'm looking for
a webcam (with audio) that is compatible with mac os x leopard, with the capability to record to my hard drive. I have a Macbook Pro, 2.20 C2D, with the built in iSight, but it's facing the wrong way. :|

I'm going to try and record my professor's lectures. I've been looking around and found this one: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-QuickCam-Pro-for-Notebooks/dp/B000RZNI4S/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b
but it is a tad expensive, and I'm not sure about compatibility with mac.

I also found this, and it looks like the reviewer is using a mac, (scroll down), and he said that it is a good substitite for plug and play, but still not sure about record.

not that more less expensive, but still like the HD part.


-I have vista installed via bootcamp, so I guess I could go that route, but that would include me having to reinstall, because there is only like 2GB free. Unless I could plug in an external drive, (120GB) and record straight to that......would that work?


And do I need another app. to be able to record?? or would it be included in the software??

Thanks
