Hi, I've developed a friction model for my last exam at the university, I also used a GEM graphical patch to drive that external I created with PD. I would like to capture a video from that GEM graphical patch together with the audio. Is it possible to do this with PD or with another freeware software, or I'll have to use an external webcam, recorde the audio with an external software and then merge them? Thanks in advance

hi, ...the quick answer is that no, you can't capture video and audio together with gem...it would be pretty slow, since it's having to read from the gpu framebuffer, and they weren't really designed with that in mind (at least the commodity ones)...
...it'd be my suggestion to use some form of dv-bridge (say, a camera or a dazzle hollywood), and output to that and then loopback from there to the computer you wish to further utilize them in...

Hey Riccardo,
The best/easiest way to do this is to simply output full-screen analog video to a DV camera with sounds and then recapture it over fire-wire. the other Gem method is to save each frame in a sequence with pix_write but depending on the quality and such this can really kill performance, and you would have to add the sound after.
This is what i have always done and it always at least works. If you need better quality then you can do the pix_write method and put everything together by hand.

hi
i think you can use gem2pdp object or pdp_capture and after one of the recorder objects..

I've never done it with GEM, which doesn't mean it's not possible, or not easy.
BUT, for Open Source capping, there's lots of stuff, depending on what OS you're running. For linux, the standard is dvgrab. Kino helps by giving a GUI frontend to dvgrab.
On windows there's a great little app called avigrab or something... I couldn't find it last week when I was googling, but it's nice and simple and easy. There's also VirtualDub and its many progenitors.
Can't say what's on OSX.
this page shows up with a simple Google: http://faq.arstechnica.com/?i=4 and it appears the good little windows app is WinDV, not avigrab. Google is your friend. Also I know this has been asked before, so searching the archives would help as well.
