• 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.

I bought a new webcam hoping to be able to record class lectures for personal use. I knew the C910 wasn't exactly compatible with Macs, but figured I could find some work around as a plug-n-play device. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. I can't find any (free) software for video recording that would allow me to do such a thing. I don't need anything fancy. Does anyone have some suggestions for software or ideas for a workaround?

I have a 13" aluminum MacBook with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS 10.6.4 and so far I've tried:
Parallels - video comes out distorted beyond recognition
Quicktime X Player - can't switch from the built-in iSight camera
Photo Booth - wouldn't switch to webcam, but recognized it; second attempt showed success for video recording.

Is this my best option?
