Your maximum effective capture for a DV signal is around 640 * 480. So you'll need a PImage[] array to hold the number of frames equivalent to framerate and delay

i.e:

Code:

int framerate = 1; //per sec 
int delay = 10; // secs
PImage[] videoBuffer;
boolean buffFull = false;
int bufIndex;

void setup() {

videoBuffer = new PImage[framerate*delay];

for (int i=0; i<videoBuffer.length; i++) {

 videoBuffer[i] = new PImage(captureWidth, captureHeight);
 }
}

void draw() {

}


void captureEvent() {

if (buffFull) { // this flag waits for the buffer to become full

 //send pimage to output, or set flag and do it in draw if you prefer
}

 //fill this buffer position with current video image

 if(bufIndex++ >= videoBuffer.length) {
  buffFull = true;
  bufIndex = 0;
 }

}

 

This'll provide you with an array of images, so a new capture Event gets copied into videoBuffer[index]

when the buffer is full: 1st buffer frame is sent to output and then replaced by new video capture, and then update the pointer.

Should be pretty straightforward.

Your basically populating and array of pimages with frames from a source and then when the buffer is full you start sending them out 1st to last and you can just keep wrapping the pointers round and around, filling each slot with a new image after its been output.


Sorry about the incomplete code, but I'm typing this blind and am not testing. Method names may need to be checked in reference section etc.
