iMovie, if it reconnizes the camera, you can even record what is being seen. As for full screen, let me get my iSite out and see if I can watch myself at full screen.

EDIT: Full screen with iMovie, no.

Try this:

Also look around some more on VersionTracker, there's probably some other stuff on there. And check out the sample code on the Apple dev site (http://developer.apple.com):

I think most of the downloads include compiled apps as well as the source code. There's gotta be SOMETHING out there that works.
