Hello,
The pix_record object doesn't seem to work properly. It doesn't record anything and when I send the "codeclist" message to the object I get:
recordQT : 23 codecs installed recordQT : pjpeg codec 23 1785750887 65816 ctype [pix_record]: codec0: '(null)': (null) [pix_record]: codec1: '(null)': (null) [pix_record]: codec2: '(null)': (null) ... the list continues up to codec22.
My system is: Windows XP Pd version 0.39.3-extended GEM: ver: 0.91-cvs I checked with a codec reporting utility (SHERLOCK - The Codec Detective) that I have several video codecs installed ranging from AVI to DivX, MPEG-4, QT and many others.
Punchic described earlier the same problem http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-05/050307.html
Is there some known issue in the pix_record object in the windows version and some solution? Roman Haefeli suggested to:
a) try different gem binaries from pd-extended for your operating system. maybe there is one that works.
b) check out gem sources from cvs and compile it yourself. therefor you need to have the appropriate libs installed (quicktime and friends)
c) use [pix_write] instead of [pix_record] and create a sequence of images. then use a dedicated tool (like 'mplayer') to create a movie file from the image sequence.
For me these solution sound a bit "random". At least it would be nice to know which gem version has the functioning pix_record or if the problem is somewhere else.
Thanks,
