Capturing Video from Quicktime

Hi All,
I'm trying to have a play with the source code from Brendan Dawes' Cinema Redux, and I'm have trouble understanding how the Quicktime capture works. Do I run the processing code with a Quicktime window playing in the background, which processing then grabs the frames off of? Cheers.

John,
No, i understand how to load quicktime, but if you look at the Cinema Redux code, you will notice there is no point where a quicktime movie is loaded. The functions beginVideo() and saveFrame() are used to seemingly grab the video from somewhere, but i'm not exactly where.

JohnG has you going in the right direction .... seems everyone is tryin to rip Brendan 
btw he was running his dvd player into a DV cam then into processing via firewire i believe. so he was using beginVideo()

Just to clear things up, as mohn says, I was using a DVD player that then went into a Sony TRV33 camera in VCR mode via an AV cable. A firewire cable was then connected from that to my Mac. You should though be able to use a QuickTime movie - though that would take up a lot of memory I think for an entire movie.
Cheers.
Bren.
