Topic: QC 9000 running on bootcamp for mac!

Ok so at the moment someone from my moms work is installing windows on my mac, so now i can have both operating systems. And i thought that since my birthday is coming up i can get the QC 9000 and use it on the windows system, but i want to know if i can animate a film on the windows portion with my 9000, then send it to my mac for editing and effects? Would it work fine, and is it possible to send a file from the windows operating system to my macintosh operating system?:|

I have awesome sauce in my veins! Which i sprinkle on each of my videos to give it an extra dose of aweomseness!

I've been wondering that too, I'm considering buying a Mac, but already own the QuickCam 9000.

MindGame might be able to answer that. He runs bootcamp on his machine, for shooting.

Yup, but there is a file size limit...

Can you elaborate a bit more? You've repeatedly said bad things about BootCamp but haven't given explanations for this. It'd be more helpful if we knew more about this "file size limit"?

ok i got it setup, i officially have windows system AND a Mac system, im only using the windows portion for animating with Logitech webcams, instead of the 9000 i might get the brand new logitech HD cam, if it works. And he showed me how to move files from mac to windows so im all good, all i need is the webcam!

I think you could use a flash drive. Not exactly sure. I'll stop talking about bootcamp.

Were you able to get the 9000 to run on your Windows system in Mac?  I'd like to do the same thing, but have read others have had issues.

I have Bootcamp running on my iMac. Recently bought the logitech Webcam Pro 9000. Downloaded the lws110.exe (old software which includes the manual white-balance). Cam works like a charm, but i have to cope with the additional light flicker. My Panasonic Cam didn't have any flicker on full manual.

Btw, i run windows 7 home premium.

Hope this helps.

Re: QC 9000 running on bootcamp for mac!

I am also running a Windows partition on my HardDrive. I bought an external desktop harddrive that I use to transfer files. The harddrive is formatted in FAT32 (windows), and is read fine by the Mac OS. But if the HD is HFS+ (Macintosh) Windows may not write/read from it.

I just have to get Final Cut up and running to start actually using my Mac for more stuff.

Thanks much. 

We ended up staying entirely with Mac because I would have had to buy windows 7 and a new version of VMFusion. 

Got an old Panasonic PV-GS320 which allows for the manual focus I was trying to achieve with the Q9000.

Stick with the panasonic. Got the Same Cam here and THE only down Side is the resolution.

Sorry to ask such a basic question, but what is the issue with the resolution? 

I'm assuming it's not as "HD" as the Q9000?

The image looks great on the computer screen though.

Re: QC 9000 running on bootcamp for mac!

The pana is max 640 x 480 (i think), but i only use 640 x 360 ( widescreen).

The logitech has much higher res. I think 1600 x 1200.... And you can set it to 1280 x 720, a HD format.

However in image result, the pana on full manual is very, very nice...

Look at fancypants vids, who used the same Cam.
(or mine...)
