I recall that this came up a while back on the Firewire list, and
the consensus was that 2 iSights at 640x480 far exceed the FW400
bandwidth, so it "automagically" downgrades one to fill the
remaining bandwidth for the second camera. IIRC, a single 640x480
signal takes up about 90% of the FW400 data bandwidth (but don't
quote me on that). A FW800 hub won't help, of course, since the
iSights are FW400, but if you had 2 FW800 cameras on the FW800
ports it should work.
Bummer.
So, anyone have a suggestion for a way I can throttle down the first
one, so that I can at least match the sizes?
