Hi, I found this code in another topic at this forum for delaying captured video.

The only problem is that I don't know how or where to put the parameters I want. I would like to have a 30 seconds delay.

Can someone please help me?

And, is there a way to decide how much of the captured data that is to be stored on my computer?

Best, Celia

import processing.video.*;
Capture maCam;
VideoBuffer monBuff;

void setup() {
size(320,240);
maCam = new Capture(this, width, height, 30);
monBuff = new VideoBuffer(30, 320, 240);
}

void captureEvent(Capture maCam) {
maCam.read();
monBuff.addFrame( maCam );
}

void draw() {
image( monBuff.getFrame(), 100, 100 );
image( maCam, 0, 0 );
}

 
class VideoBuffer
{
 PImage[] buffer;
 
 int inputFrame = 0;
 int outputFrame = 0;
 int frameWidth = 0;
 int frameHeight = 0;
 
 /*
   parameters:

   frames - the number of frames in the buffer (fps * duration)
   width - the width of the video
   height - the height of the video
 */
 VideoBuffer( int frames, int width, int height )
 {
   buffer = new PImage[frames];
   for(int i = 0; i < frames; i++)
   {
     this.buffer[i] = new PImage(width, height);
   }
   this.inputFrame = frames - 1;
   this.outputFrame = 0;
   this.frameWidth = width;
   this.frameHeight = height;
 }

 // return the current "playback" frame.  
 PImage getFrame()
 {
   return this.buffer[this.outputFrame];
 }
 
 // Add a new frame to the buffer.
 void addFrame( PImage frame )
 {
   // copy the new frame into the buffer.
   System.arraycopy(frame.pixels, 0, this.buffer[this.inputFrame].pixels, 0, this.frameWidth * this.frameHeight);
   
   // advance the input and output indexes
   this.inputFrame++;
   this.outputFrame++;

   // wrap the values..    
   if(this.inputFrame >= this.buffer.length)
   {
     this.inputFrame = 0;
   }
   if(this.outputFrame >= this.buffer.length)
   {
     this.outputFrame = 0;
   }
 }  
}

great. This is the thread where I found the code(s):
