• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

My firewire socket has failed and I can't afford a new logic board, so I've bought myself a new usb webcam to take the place of my trusty isight. I've got a Logitech quickcam pro 9000. My problem is that I can't get anwhere near the 30 fps it should be providing; usually I don't get more than 5-6 fps. The odd thing is that occasionally I get 15 fps, but i can't replicate it. This is in QT pro and also in ichat using conference recorder to make movies with. Macam doesn't work with the 9000 pro. Do I need to upgrade to Leopard? I tried upgrading to 10.4.9, but software updater won't let me.
