Yes, I've ranted on this issue before, but I'm still hoping that perhaps
there is a successful solution to my grump.

Does anybody know of a webcam for Intel Macs? Need either a Firewire or
USB2 connection and driver. I'll even take a USB connection.

I have an iBook G4 with a combo drive.  My drive is region locked so
when I want to view US DVD's I use VLC.  I have several DVD box sets
that are in good to perfect condition.  A month ago my combo drive
