I have a Rocketfish webcam that seems to integrate well with my Macintosh PowerBook G4 computer. The computer recognizes the camera and I can see my image perfectly onscreen. However, when I want to send my image to my friend (who DOES NOT have a Macintosh) using Yahoo! messenger (or any other messenger program for that matter), the messenger program does not recognize that I have a webcam attached, and therefore does not give me the option to broadcast it. My friend can send me video -- no problem. But I can't send any. I am willing to buy a different webcam if that's necessary. (Unfortunately Apple's own iSight camera has been discontinued.) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The camera is probably not the problem. The software made for pc's is. It works ok mac to mac not mac to pc. Maybe try open source programs for a solution.
