You could try Bittorrent

I have it running on my dual 2 G5... with an iSight. Apple should bundle it as a 'nice to have' app on there OSX OS DVDs or bundle it with iSight. I'm sure that eventually, future displays from Apple will all include the iSight. Seems to be the direction they're heading.

it is similar to PhotoBooth but adds dynamics effects and movie recording (and the possibility to create your own effect).

Dominik Wagner nailed it: both apps run like crap on G4s, and run even worse on machines with video cards below spec. Making them freely available would only draw the ire of a million people with slightly-too-old computers.

I using the internet versions of Photobooth & Front Row
on my 2005 iMac G5 And Both work great!

If you ever played with PhotoBooth on older hardware (and by that I mean iMac G5 and PowerBook G4 Alu) you understand why it isn't downloadable. The performance is abysmal, as PhotoBooth relies on Quartz Composer and core video, both of which need very recent graphics cards. It's just no fun on the other machines.

I am surprised it doesn't ship with iSights. I had never thought of the Core Image involvement, though.
