So I am guessing that the issue is triggered by your capture card. Try a regular USB webcam using macam drivers as a test. If that works fine, then it is most likely something related to the capture card. Perhaps there is a driver update for it?</div><div><br></div><div>.hc</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On May 1, 2009, at 10:41 AM, james murray wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br><br>I had originally posted this within the PD/GEM forums but haven't gotten any traction/responses to my question and thought perhaps the list might have a more lively response.<br><br>I recently had a G5 tower upgraded to Leopard while being serviced by Apple (I wasn't asked if this was wanted and it wasn't because of concerns I had about PD running smoothly on Leopard) and cannot downgrade the OS due to lost install discs. <br> <br>I upgraded my PD Extended vers. to 0.40.3 as had been recommended in the Forums and although I can get PD to open and access libraries properly I've run into a problem with getting certain works made on Tiger to function properly with the pix_video object.
