TONYBOYRU  AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS! This developer is selling software that does not work and when I tried to get a refund he blamed it on the requirements which he says must be a G5. MacUpdate needs to remove this software from their list or update the proper requirements for using this software.

FRIZZLE  As stated in the emails, you can have a refund by all means. But we do not process payment for the MacUpdate promotions, and again as stated, if you would like a refund you will have to ask MacUpdate, the email address is: support@macupdate.com

ERICG  I have used this application for nearly a month and am very disappointed with it. Consistently the record function ceases after about a minute or two. This problem makes the application unusable for me. The developer is very responsive, but this alone does not make it possible for me to use Dream Capture.

It also have a very limited feature set. It offer no compression menu and is, otherwise, highly inflexible. Yes, it's cheap, but it offers very little.

WELLES  I've been trying out video capture apps for use with the new Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac. It is a USB UVC compliant cam with the auto focus and auto light controls built into the camera on chips. I'm using it with a Mac Pro. Dream Capture is dead simple to use. It captures a fabulous picture. However there needs to be some additional USB/UVC support work to increase the capture frame rate for a camera of this type. It is about 5 fps, the same as PhotoBooth. I don't doubt Dream Capture is excellent with built in iSight cameras but for a Mac Pro the Quickcam Vision Pro is the best available and 5 fps is not really adequate.

Potential users should also be aware that Dream Capture only records .mov recordings in the H.264 codec so if your intent is to make YouTube videos or email visual messages to friends, you'll need some serious compression software. Don't get me wrong, the .mov files created are really good. The app is just limited to one feature set but if it is what you need the price is incredibly modest for what you are getting.

My one real complaint is that although there is a 'demo' version, it doesn't allow for any recording! In short the 'demo' is useless and I had to purchase the app to find out it isn't that well suited for my circumstances. The modest price is hardly a cause for serious complaint, though.

MFABACHE  These peeps need to have their Developer licenses revoked. So not up to any standard of (typical Apple) quality. Yeah, it cost a dollar or two, and then you throw it away. Save your money, buy a candybar.

FRIZZLE  I love this!

It's so easy to use and creates valid .mov files that are perfect for me toupload to You Tube or Revver. This is a great little application and i would recomend it to anyone!

It even picks up my Xbox Live Vision camera, haven't been able to do that with any software before.

MOOG MODULAR  Says Shareware, but the MU Download link takes you to a page that only allows a download after payment has been received.

That's not Shareware.

It also says "Record video from any camera connected to your Mac."

Well, if it can display video from a Scalar USB microscope (a USB camera) on an Intel Imac, I'll pay the author 10 times his asking price. I can say this, because it's worth $20.60 to be proven wrong.
