Verified Hardware

Hi, we've confirmed the following hardware works on vista:
Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000
Microsoft Lifecam VX-6000
Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000
Integrated camera on the HP Pavilion dv2000.

The LifeCam devices require the most recent LifeCam driver (version 1.4), which is available from the Microsoft lifecam site:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/digitalcommunication/downloads/default...

Other logitech and microsoft cameras will likely work as well. In principle, any DirectShow-supported camera will work.

I doubt the iSight will work until it can be loaded as a directshow device.

cheers,
R

Logitech QuickCam Express

Actually working with an old Logitech QuickCam Express, it is working on vista ultimate running on a MacBook Pro :) (Core 2 Duo T7500 with GeForce 8800 GTM)

Of course the integrated camera "Built-in iSight" is not working ...
