Stop Capture, Restart Capture
Jul 16th, 2007, 3:36pm  
Hi there,

For performance reasons I would like to stop Capturing, but restart again during runtime.
I had a look at Capture.stop() , .dispose(), but couldn't find anything like start().
After dispose()ing the Capture-object at runtime, it's not possible to re-create a Capture object, as the device is still in use as long as the sketch runs.
Any ideas?

I'm on a MPB, running 124.

Regards,
Patrick

yes, you can by accessing the quicktime object directly.

use
my_capture.channel.stop();

and
my_capture.channel.previewChannel();


hope that works...

hi hansi,

thx for your answer.

Unfortunately these methods you mentioned do not exist? or at least I can't find them.

video = new Capture(this, 320, 240, 24);
(...)
video.channel.stop();
(...)
video.channel.previewChannel();



Am I accessing the wrong Channel object?
