IME working on MacOS USB camera drivers, such settings were vendor-specific. If you can get the attention of the driver's developer, and you are willing to work with them, they may be able to add that setting. Possibly you would need to provide them with a camera (your camera, most likely). Often the simplest way to find what the setting is, is to disassemble the MSWindows driver (hint: really really hard). Sometimes it is obvious from the USB info for the camera, as an alternate setting, but usually not. Occasionally the camera manufacturer has a data sheet, or, even more occasionally, will answer such questions. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
