  1. Started using ver. 1.2 on my iMac and now after the imac 'sleeps' the webcam no longer works... I tested the iMac/webcam without your software and the cam works after sleep (unless your software was running)...

    How do I 'downgrade' to the prior version?
    Plus it never has 'saved and applied' the saved settings when using Google+ Hangouts.

    1. I figured out the "sleep" issue in version 1.2 and sent you 1.3b1. Can you test if 1.3b1 fixed the issue?

  2. do you know if the c920 will work with Mountain Lion on the LWS Software? The c910 LWS software no longer works in ML. Although I can still use QuickTime, I cant take 1080p videos like with the LWS software.

    1. LWS is developed with Qt and feels very un-Mac-like. I don't use it at all. To answer your question I downloaded and tested LWS 2.2.13 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. It refuse to work with C920 but works OK with C910.

    1. I wrote a small app to help me record videos at any webcam supported resolution. Maybe I should consider to make it a commercial app?

    1. From the "Webcam Settings Camera Support" page you can see only the following cameras support zoom.
      Logitech HD Webcam C525
      Logitech HD Webcam C615
      Logitech HD Webcam C910
      Logitech HD Webcam C920
      Microsoft LifeCam Cinema
      Microsoft LifeCam Studio


      Logitech Webcam 9000 does not support zoom from its hardware, sorry.
