I read:
- i'm doing an installation piece involving a live video feed into a pd
patch. i am trying to get my webcam (through usb) to connect with a patch using the pix_video object in gem. does anyone know how to do this?
MAMA (a croatian multimedia institute ;) just bought a quickcam express usb I got the driver from http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ and it works fine with jmax / gridflow or freej but pd (or rather gem) says VDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument and I don't get any pix_video output .... I don't have the patches at hand that I did with my tv card, so maybe it's me doing sth. wrong here could anyone send me a very simple test patch that should definitely work ?
thanks

p.s.:
just to be a bit more verbose esp. for iohannes:
