newbie video question
Mar 28th, 2006, 11:23pm
 
hi all,

i'm totally new to processing, and i'm having problems getting video feed from a sony handycam via usb port.

i can't seem to get the processing video examples to recognize the camera.

the error:

quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.3g],-9405=couldntGetRequiredComponent,QT.vers:6528000

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

java.lang.RuntimeException: No capture could be found, or the VDIG is not installed correctly.

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:552)

i've read all faqs (multiple times) on this, degraded to quicktime version 6, looked through the discussions.  i still can't seem to get the camera recognized.  i'm running on a mac with os x version 10.3.9 is this my problem?

any help would be great.  

many thanks,
chris

does this work with any sort of quicktime capture app? like will your cam show up with ichat?

i just  borrowed a new camera, and yes, i can connect it to ichat, but the same error is given when i try to run processing.

ok, i did borrow a new camera, but i didn't restart processing after i hooked it up.  that was my problem...

after i restarted processing the error is gone.  so, i'm on the road now.

thanks for your response.
