Can You Help With A Mac Question?

Are you a Mac user with an Intel Core Duo machine?
Do you run BootCamp?
If the answer is yes then could you do me a favour and tell me if Flash Media Encoder (FME) will run on your machine under Windows via BootCamp?
We've already found out that FME is not compatible (or does not seem to be able to access cameras) under Windows via Parallels.
I've recently bought a second-hand MacBook Pro and have already tried FME under Parallels.
As expected the application runs but throws an error when trying to access a camera which is otherwise working fine in Windows.
I'd give BootCamp a try myself but on this particular machine it will require a reinstall of OSX which I cannot carry out right now as I'll have to wait until Kevin sends me the OSX disks ;-)
So in the meantime I would appreciate it if someone else could tell me if they can get FME to run (and access a camera) on a Mac running Windows via BootCamp.
The reason for why I'm in a bit of a hurry with this is that there's a chance I may be running some live broadcasts from the Adobe Live event in London on June 5th/6th (I'll be there on June 5th so say hello if you spot me struggeling with getting a decent WIFI signal).
Thanks boys and girls, please post a comment below or email me via the contact link at the top of the page.
