Hello Mac guys,
I had a little more time today to try and get gem beta 3 to work on my machine, without any luck. I have recently upgraded to 10.2.
I have the stock nvidia card that came with the 733 (geforce2 I think) and I added an ATI xclaim VR (for video output)
PD now loads the gem lib fine:
GEM: IOhannes m zmoelnig GEM: ver: 0.87+cvs GEM: compiled: Nov 27 2002 GEM: Mac OS X port by James Tittle & Chris Clepper
But when I try and create a gem window I get:
Could not find valid pixel format AGL Full Screen: 640 x 480 MAC: no info.context error: GEM: Unable to create window error: GEM: gemwin: no window made
According to the OpenGL info developer util (which can't copy paste) sees both cards: Render 0 (nvidia) has: HW acceleration fullscreen mpsafe window compliant screen mask
Render 1 (ATI) has: off screen robust backing store MPsafe window multiscreen compliant screenmask and no HW acceleration.
Does this give any indication as to the problem, seems to do the same thing if I put the PD window on the second screen and try creating a gem window.
Hope to get it fixed I really wanna try the firewire video input stuff!!!
Thanks ben

these messages mean that you do not have a QuickTime compatible video capture device attached to your machine and configured correctly.
Ohhhh.... so *that's* how you do it. I was wondering for a while (idly) if there was anything that would do real-time capture in Gem. I had no idea it was sitting under my nose. Plugged in a miniDV cam to the FireWire port, and it Just Worked (tm). Excellent.
A few questions about (future?) functionality: will it support multiple devices? Can I use it at above 320x240 at some point? The last one would be very nice, as DV (with "high quality" enabled) *should* give stunningly clear results.
This is a real kick in the behind to get to know how to use Gem more, especially with the nice, seamless choosing of an external display.
Thanks, Jamie and Chris (and Mark and IOhannes, etc....)
