Logitech quickCam PTZ not working (Read 1322 times)
Logitech quickCam PTZ not working
May 29th, 2005, 1:30pm
 
Hi. I hope I'm a dork and there's something that I'm missing.
But whenever I try to connect to my camera I get an error message. I installed quicktime for java, cam drivers (the cam is working, of course) and still nothing.

I haven't installed the WinVDIG drivers though, do I have to ?

Code:

import processing.video.*;

void setup() {
size(200, 200);
print(Capture.list());
}




the error I get

Code:

quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.0g1],-9405=couldntGetRequiredComponent,QT.vers:6528000
quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.0g1],-9405=couldntGetRequiredComponent,QT.vers:6528000



at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38)
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1


at processing.app.Runner.message(Runner.java:491)

yeah, you have to install the winvdig..
i posted something just like this somewhere, and then figured it out myself and posted an answer.. and st33d posted in website bugs, that they should get a camera faq up and running with stuff like this, which i totally agree on.

You need:
A Connected Webcam
Quicktime for Java
WinVDIG

and that's about it.
