hi all,
i'm working on a bug fix release for PDP. currently there's only a darcs archive. there will probably be a release around mid februari, for the first Huddersfield workshop.
this means that PDP and Packet Forth are officially forked, alas.. no more denial :)
if there's some small annoyance or bug you'd like to see fixed, send an email to pdp@zzz.kotnet.org
for more info, see: http://zwizwa.goto10.org/zwikizwaki.php?page=PureDataPacket
most important changes since 0.12.4 are pdp_del, pdp_rawin/out and i420 bitmaps. there's also the doc/misc/rawout.txt file explaining how to use rawout and pdp_metro to dump raw audio/video to the harddisk and convert it offline using mencoder/ffmpeg. this seems to be the simplest way to save CPU power when doing live video recording.
one thing several people seem to miss in PDP is more input video codecs. i'm not going to add support for it, but it is possible to use pdp_rawin in combination with my pf-rawvideo.* scripts. these are little wrappers around ffmpeg and mencoder to produce i420 streams on stdout. they can be found here:

Glad to see you are working on PDP again, many people will be quite
happy about it.
I have a request from the documentation point of view. It would be
very handy if the docs and the example patches used a cross-platform
method for getting video in. Also, rather than using live video in the
docs and examples, it would be easier for most people if you could use
a video file. Then people without a video camera could play with the
docs and help files.
And lastly, a cross-platform method of outputting. [pdp_xv] is used in
the docs and examples. It compiles and loads on Mac OS X, but no one
AFAIK has gotten it working yet.

it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of

good point. there are the [pdp_help_input] and [pdp_help_output] paches that could be changed on install. i never got to automagically fill them in the install/compile process though..
And lastly, a cross-platform method of outputting. [pdp_xv] is used in
the docs and examples. It compiles and loads on Mac OS X, but no one
AFAIK has gotten it working yet.
another thing on the list. i'm thinking of [pdp_vdac] and [pdp_vadc]

I think that having this stuff generated at build time would make distributing PDP more difficult. How about instead having [pdp_help_input] have both a video file input and a video camera input, so the user can decide which source to use whenever she is using the patch.

Whatever works :).
Also, while you are at it, here's a patch for changes needed to make PDP in the CVS developers' layout (http://puredata.org/docs/developer/devlayout ). It would be good to have this in your PDP sources:
