hi,

nice that you want to join our efforts )

well, i can be a little more precise
about the tasks :

a/ it's already possible to get the dvcam input in pdp
by using Coriander and the vloopback module :
Coriander grabs the ieee1394 input and can write in a vloopback device,
pdp just sees this as a v4l input,
i guess it works but i can't test it because i don't have any dvcam
( nor a firewire interface ).

b/ it would be better if there was a native pdp object for dvcams,
for the same reasons as above, i won't be able to do it myself.
we will provide you all the help needed to get into
PDP development.

c/ i will be doing a Mac OSX capture object
as soon as i get an ibook
( some people will lend me one ).

d/ i will do the missing vloopback object in PDP
( the one that writes to vloopback ),
it is useful for different purposes.

e/ first, i must do a quicktime stream reader,
then the vloopback object.

welcome to pdp's crew,
sevy

I think is easier to write a pdp_dvcam under linux object i am start look on
this, a take the code from dvgrab...

Yves if you have some sujestion on writing pdp objet ;-)  help is wellcome

or maby i easyer whit ffmeg source code i can grab also dv1394 ...

oke, now i know the plan to have a really functional
capture interface in PDP :

a/ do a vloopback object
that can interface with Coriander
( http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/coriander/ )
to support IEEE1394 capture on linux.

b/ support v4l2 in pdp_v4l
( which now only supports v4l ).
is it upward compatible by the way? anyone?

c/ do a quicktime based capture object for OSX
( we will borrow some code from Gem, thanx ).

d/ windows, errr, windows, no plans for this.
( anyway, pdp does NOT run on window )

any volunteers?
we're hiring !! ( but i dunno if you'll get paid for that )) )

ciao,
sevy
