Processing + Webcam + Linux
« on: Oct 6th, 2003, 1:26am »

Hi all,
 
"Enables Processing to capture and play QuickTime video. It is necessary to download and install QuickTime"
 
but  QuickTime doesn't exist for linux. So, is it possible or not to capture and play QuickTime video with Linux ?
 
thx all

PS: my webcam is fully supported on my Linux Box
PS2: Mandrake 9.1, Processing0065, Philips Vesta Pro

Hey there
 
any word on whether or not video is supported in processing on linux?
 
i have been doing video in from many different sources in linux for years
 
but have no idea where to begin w/ processing, as it's quicktime centric.
 
any info, much appreciated. processing itself works great, very impressed.
 
if it is not currently supported but there is adequate (or even inadequate) technical dox somewhere, or similar project and needs dev help, please inform
 
regards

nah, no video support for linux.  
 
if there's a way to do video for linux through java, that could be patched up to work with processing. anyone know of one?

when i worked on a live video backdrop for java3d via java media framework i thought about to create a video extension for processing. i think it should work on linux and windows. but i do not know if there is a mac version of jmf.
 
the result was not fast enough. but i think my framegrabbers threads collided with the internal threads of java3d.
 
i used the sample code of sun:
http://java.sun.com/dev/evangcentral/totallytech/jmf.html
then i converted the resulting image to a texture mapped on a plane in java3d.
 
for processing i think we just have to convert the resulting image to an array like in PVideo.
