Capture with 0087
May 8th, 2005, 11:15am  
When I test the example called "Capture" in 0087, I've got this message:

Creative WebCam Live! Pro (VFW)-WDM
Trust 360 USB 2.0 SpaceCam-WDM


quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.0g1],-50=paramErr,QT.vers:6528000
quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.0g1],-50=paramErr,QT.vers:6528000


     at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38 )

So I'm not being able to play with this library for this new version of p55.
It seems to be an error related with the quicktime soft. I have reinstalled it (keeping the "for java" option) and I guess it woks fine.

The curious thing is that I can work with my webcam and 0068, it works perfectly in the same computer.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Natalia

I've been using the same webcams as you and I've ran into the same problem. I think it's the way the Trust camera installs its drivers. Every time we installed the Trust drivers it caused a load of problems with every other capture device on the system. The Capture.list() also came out screwy too.

My only advice is to remove capture drivers, and make a note of what the Capture.list() reads for the cameras with just one driver installed. For some reason the Trust driver came back under a different name at times (TRUST 120 SPACEC@M-WDM).

We noticed that we couldn't get Capture working until all of the drivers had been removed and then put back in with out the Trust ones there. It was like the Trust drivers screwed everything up. (That said I've managed to get it working now by installing Trust first then everything else including my TV card after, but it still gets screwy at times). I'm pretty certain that it's not Processing that causes this problem - a technician I was working with said he'd ran into trouble with Trust devices too.

I guess I will change the camera. :-\
It is easier than trying to manipulate this camera's drivers.

Thanks st33d.
