[PD] Multiple Webcams and Gem

[David Divilly]

Thanks Jack ..
Had a look at [pdp_ieee1394] .. but all my webcams are USB ..
what I really want to know is what object will allow me to open these
webcams like  [pdp_v4l] (for linux) in OS X .. as per Example13 in the
browser ..
.. I've attached a shot of the patch so it clearer ...

Thanks  Dave
