Hello. I'm trying to use the pix_video object with
a creative usb webcampro on win2000. I'm using gem 0.87.
it doesn't work. When I create the object I het the
popup window, select the webcam, I get "pix_video: driver 'creative webcam pro
<VFW>'"
but then "error: GEM: pix_videoNT: Unable to
connect to video driver."
Is the driver just not supported, am I doing
something wrong? Is there a way to configure the pix_video object so that this
works?

Pix_video under NT is rather particular about
how it tries to configure the
capture device... It also doesn't support DV
cameras because such devices
aren't exposed to VideoForWindows.
I'll
post some (alpha) video input objects which I've written for NT which
provide
a bit more functionality. There's one for VideoForWindows and
another
for DirectShow which does allow DV devices to be used.
Is it
possible that this webcam would work with your input object?
What else
should I try?
thanks for help.
