Hi list I woul'd like to write a GEM-external for capturing the sony PS3Eye webcam. (Windows XP)
This usb webcam has very good specs : 640x480 @75 fps, 320x240@150fps, with one-frame latence. Initially, there was no driver for Windows, but AlexP hacked it and wrote a DirectShow filter (http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/3263/) and a SDK for writing videofilter without DirectShow (http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/3284/).
I could use this cam with pix_video and the Direct Show driver, but this gives much latency (0.3 sec). I really need very low latency.
I succeed in compiling pd-external examples, but I don't knon how to compile a GEM external as an extra dll. I'm using Dev-c++. I'm quite a newbie in programming.
Any hints where to start ? Anyone interested in doing the job ? (with more computer skills than me) thanks
