PhotoBooth will run on my flat panel iMac but not on my iMac Snow, both using 10.4.8. On the Snow, video worked fine in iChat AV. PhotoBooth wil launch, but all I get is a black screen. The camera’s green light goes on, but no video feed. there’s also no video feed in iMovie HD.

Freak Show works VERY S L O W L Y. Anyone have ideas?

Scott, the point here is more that Apple only ships the (working) app on Macs that have an isight, and makes it necesary for those people on older machines to get the app from a friend (likely considered stealing by Apple) or do some terminal and plist hacks to enable it.

Funny, I use Photo Booth on my PowerBook G4 with an external iSight…I had my brother send me the .app from his iMac. Works without a hitch.

@Way Cool Jr.: As with Zach, my new Mac(not Book) Pro runs both of these apps just fine with an external iSight.

photo booth works on my unsupported mac. all you need to do is find out where to download it.

not only does photo booth work with my mac, it works with my very very old usb camera.

something not mentioned in this review is that while photo booth does take better pictures with effects (even though freak show tries its best to mimic the apple counterpart, the quality difference can clearly be seen), freak show is A LOT more lenient with lighting than photo booth.

under bad lighting conditions (the normal room lighted by normal lights at night time), freak show ends up taking better pictures.

great review!
