hi julien!

daniel did a directshow based live video capture object [pix_video_ds] that can be downloaded [win] at http://www.bogusfront.org you will need directX 8 or higher ...

i used it with a sony minidv cam and a logitec webcam without any problems ... with the dv cam i had the impression that the latency period is a bit longer, maybe because of the dv resolution which results in a bigger stream ...

good luck, christian

Hello

I would like to capture the pixel values of a DVcam image in order to

use these

values in a patch. I'm not interested in displaying the image, so the

frame

rate is not very important. These values will be used for filling a matrix regularly (in the

patch). As

this matrix is quite small, the capture X-Y-resolution should be low

(possibly

the same as the size of the matrix) in order to save computation

time.

I think it's possible with GEM, but it may slow the patch. What is

the best

method for doing this ?

Maybe I should use a webcam instead of the DVcam, too.

Thank you all,

Julien
