Video Workage
May 7th, 2008, 12:37pm
 
Greetings.
I'm on my intern, and I advices my coordinators to use Processing for the project we are developing. However the project is very much based on Videos. However I am very much unexperienced with video in general, specially with processing.
I've been watching some posts, and some examples. However I still have some questions about the use of video with processing.

1st: I some times have a flower framerate that what would be expected for the video. Its not a problem with my computer (at least I don't thing it is, the machine is not that bad), and I even use OpenGL render (if that makes any difference) to help me. What I get is some very inconstant  framerate, with a simple sketch that shows the video.

2 nd: The sound has problems. I start the video and the sound starts with it, however after a second or so, the sound simply stops never to come back. I have no idea why such a problem happens. Also, I would like to know if I can control the volume of an individual by any means.

3 rd: Finally I would like to know if and how can I show more than one video at the same time. In fact, I would like to know till what point Processing would have a problem in showing about 5 or 6 videos on a 3D environment (well, this last part I'm only looking for an opinion).

I would really enjoy work with processing on this project, specially because these people had no idea such a thing would even exist (and I'm making my intern at a college, on the informatics department). Since this language helped me so much, I can only make a retribution by spreading its use the most I can.

Thank you all, and stay cool.

i'm also working for the first time with processing , on movies and i have the same problem on the number of video does processing can display . Now i have another type of errors . I have written a programm that runs well on my computer . but since my computer does'nt run well i am my friend's computer but processing does'nt open the video and give this error : java.lang.Noclassdeffounderror: quicktime/ std/stdqtexception Temporary_2655_1963
I can send the programm and see if it runs on your computer . It is a programm that individuate objects that move in a movie . the movie is a in the foldr data .
