Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>apps, others (more info?)
Whenever I attach my video camera to my Mac and use it as an input to a video
iChat the image is reversed left-to-right, that is, if I hold up such as a
newspaper the text on the headline will be right side up but left-to-right
backwards.

When the same video camera is connected to iMovie on the same Mac the image
is not reversed.

I'm using Mac OS X (10.5.2) on a MacBook Pro. The video camera is a Sony
HDR-HDC and is connected by a Sony iLink cable.

Am I facing an iChat bug? Any thoughts and/or suggestions will be
appreciated.

In my immediately preceding posting in this thread I commented that the image
from my video camera when it is used as input to iChat is reversed. I just
now did some googling and find that this is a "feature" based upon the
assumption that one is most likely lusing an iSight or built in camera and
the image is reversed so that what the user sees is as though they were
looking into a mirror. On the other hand such reversal can be confusing if
the camera is aimed elsewhere.

What Apple needs to do is to provide an option so that the reversal can be
selected or deselected at will. I'm posting a bug report.

It seems like it would be a simple task for a "photo effect". maybe if
there's enough demand, someone will write one.

iGlasses provides such an option.
