I can use my webcam with the previous binary distribution of Gem that came with Hans's installer (0.87 - Aug. 6 2003). Pix_video works as expected. Although, when trying to use the most recent bin build of Gem (GemG4, from http://taproot.dyndns.org/~cgc/downloads/index.html) I get:
GEM: pix_videoDarwin: no video yet pix_videoDarwin: SGIdle failed.
as pix_videoDarwin been disabled? I worked previously!! ...
Send a 'colorspace rgb' message to pix_video followed by a 'reset' message. pix_video defaults to YUV colorspace right now.
thanks a lot. It works now.
I guess it should go back to rgb since it seems far more people plug in $30 webcams than fancy DV cams or professional capture devices. Oh well.
Hum... true enough. Maybe you could just change the error message too? "no video yet" seems a bit misleading... Cheers I.
