[PD] pix_video odyssey: no method on 2 systems

[B. Bogart]

Hey Ian,

I assume since your messing with open messages that pix_video does not
find your device automatically? You could try sending the "reset" message.

I think in early versions of gem for OSX pix_video only supported
fire-wire input (maybe still) is that what your using? (I guess so since
your on a PB)

1. Connect and Turn on camera
2. quick ichat or whatever else OSX runs when a camera turns on
3. create pix_video object, open patch, or send "reset" to pix_video.

Then it should work. Some cameras are weird with outputting firewire
while using analog input....

Hope that helps/

B.
