cannot set iSight settings manually
Oct 4th, 2005, 12:08pm  
i'm preparing an installation for that i need to have fix white balance and exposure. In my code i use the command:

video.settings();

but processing print this error:

quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.3b1],-9402=cantDoThatInCurrentMode,QT.vers:7028000

what should i do? i try to go back to an older qt version but i couldn't correctly uninstall the current one.

thanks

this is why we say not to update to qt7 (yet) in the faq, especially when it's something important like this.
http://processing.org/faq/bugs.html#video

that page also has the link for the 6.5.2 reinstaller (for osx, i assume that's what you're running if you've got an isight).

Any idea when 7 will be supported?  Is it a problem in Java, Processing, Quicktime for Java, or Quicktime?  Or is that even known?

Sorry to bump, but I've been looking into this a little more.  It appears that the installer for the old version of Apple linked in the FAQ is now 404, so it might be worth updating. Also, does anyone know where I can get version 6 for Windows again?

I tried JMyron for kicks (since it doesn't use quicktime), but found it incredibly slow (sub 15fps, whereas I was getting 45+ on quicktime with the same camera).

re: support for qt7, it's partially been added in rev 0093. i've also just updated the faq for the reinstaller info (what a messy situation). follow up on qt7 issues can happen in the bugs db, with separate threads for:
macosx: http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=172
windows: http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171
