[QUOTE="MacUse-R, post: 1889770, member: 397456"] So I have a web camera which shows up as "UVC General", as many webcams do. Mac OS has built in drivers for these webcams, so its "Plug´n play". But I get the camera picture divided into two screens, an upper and a lower half, the lower half is just garbage and the upper half shows the webcam picture, but with a reduced quality and with pixelation. I have chosen the correct screen setting to show only one screen, but it still shows it like that. The lower screen sometimes shows just a green screen, and sometimes it shows a frozen picture of the upper screen, but all blurry. And there is virtually no settings to adjust that could make a difference? This happens with both Photo Booth and on the 3 other third party softwares that I have tried. On Windows 7/10 it shows a normal screen. So that tells me its not the camera, but something with Mac OS X? Anybody has an idea whats going on here? Since OS X has the drivers and the camera shows up it should work normally, so I have no idea what could be causing this? [/QUOTE]
