One thing to clarify. I have a MacBook and tried to get this working but no luck. The default camera instance it chose was wrong. I used your example on getting specific instances and this showed me 3 cameras that Mac OS X thought I had. I tried using each name in succession in a loop to try to attach. No luck. Then I read the documentation on the Camera class and the light bulb went off. You have to specify the index of the camera in the returned array and NOT the name as you would think. And this is really goofy, you have to specify the index as a string. For example, my Camera.names invocation returned the following array: DV Video IIDC FireWire Video USB Video Class Video The way to invoke the USB camera is: camera = Camera.getCamera("2"); Great example.

But the only thing, how about the audio/microphone? And, the main thing is that I was wondering about. Is there a possibility to record video/audio from microphone? Your feedback is much appreciated.

But ! it shows it in the list. I checked with www.acrobat.com and the cam does not work too. It looks like it cannot get the ’stream’ from a DV camcorder connected. But ! it shows it in the list.
