Doug, from a fellow Mac user, the AG toolkit for Mac's don't include vic
or rat. All you get is the Python interface. But, I've had great success
with the vic and rat from VRVS. vic works with any Firewire camera. Now
its manual, so you'll have to know the multicast address and run it from
an X11 terminal, but it works wonderful.
