Help with video and Ubuntu 9.10
Dec 9th, 2009, 2:33pm
 
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I want to know if any of you guys have been able to use video library with ubuntu, I've searched a lot outside the forum and I have seen a lot of different libraries, but no one seemed to work, (By this point you must be thinking OMG other noob full of the same question that is in post XXXXX and XXXXX and so on), I apologize, I even know the same question must have been answered 1'000.000 times (if there is an answer), but I looked inside the forum, and it opens a google window with many different results, but no one seems to cover the topic Im searching for.

Any way, I would really appreciate any available help from you guys (links to other post or explications on how you fixed it), Its because I'm starting to use processing and want to include some face recognition in my software, but until now I haven't been able to make it work on ubuntu.

By the way I use ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 32bit, and processing 1.0.9.

Thanks in advance for all the help you guys can give me. Bye and God Bless You!!!!  Cheesy

People have been using GSVideo in Ubuntu with some success (make sure first that you have installed gstreamer with the Ubuntu package manager, because gsvideo needs gstreamer in order to work). Download GSVideo from here:

JMCVideo is also a very good video library and works fine under Linux.
