I received a Canon Elura 100 mini-DV for Christmas. Very nice for the price! While I am able to transfer video from tape to my Apple G4 PB, I can not seem to get the camera to work as a webcam either for iChat, or for HackTV.

Answer: download QuickTime from Apple (7.1.3) and re-install. There seems to be a problem with the upgrade to 10.4.8 which causes the dreaded “Your camera is in use by another application.” error message.

I can see it on the FireWire Bus in System Profiler.
