QuickTime Problems?

QUICKTIME FOR JAVA / VIDEO PROBLEMS
- windows.. you must make sure that "QuickTime for Java" is
installed. to install it, you need to download it at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
if you install the version "with iTunes", there's a second
step. after the installation, go to Start Menu -> QuickTime ->
QuickTime Updater. when it runs, use the "Custom" install, scroll
down, and click the checkbox next to "QuickTime for Java" and then
install. if you install the version of QuickTime without iTunes,
you'll also need to use the "Custom" install, as outlined above. the
same is true if you have already installed QuickTime, and did not
use the "Custom" or "Full" install.
- windows.. in order for camera input to work, you'll need to install
a quicktime-compatible video digitizer (VDIG). we've had reasonable
luck with WINVDIG: http://www.vdig.com/WinVDIG/
- windows.. sometimes a full uninstall/reinstall of quicktime will do
the trick.
- on windows, if you're having trouble with video examples crashing
processing or locking up your system, you should try placing the
processing folder into the root level of your C:\ drive, or at least
inside a set of folders that have no spaces in the name. we haven't
determined if this is a quicktime for java or processing bug yet,
but it's been a problem for lots of people.
- on windows, if you can't install quicktime for java yourself, all
you really need is a copy of QTJava.zip from the quicktime install,
which needs to be at %WINDIR%\system32\QTJava.zip. WINDIR is an
environment variable on windows, open up a DOS prompt and type
echo %WINDIR%
to find out what it's set to (prolly something like C:\windows on
windows xp/me/98 or c:\winnt on windows 2000).
- video sometimes likes to crash the application completely on
windows. this seems to be due to problems with quicktime for java
(since we shouldn't be able to write code that crashes using
java.. heh right). so this is probably outside of our control.
