<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been browsing through the PD_list archive and
it seems that the following questions are still unanswered. (And I'd like
to hear some discussion from PD users about it)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the best way to run a live video feed
through GEM on a Windows XP machine? (or any windows machine for that
matter?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a 'best camera' to use? Should it be
USB or other? (Logitech or Intel USB quickcams?! or should a person
use coaxial 'surveillance' cams?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If pix_video doesn't work properly in Windows (as
explained in an earlier PD-list message), what other objects can be used to
display live video feed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In past discussions, there is mention of pix_video
not running properly in Windows because of Windows' particular method of naming
video devices. I haven't seen any other messages in the archive which
clearly say, "I am using 'x' camera with 'x' video capture card with GEM (or
other library) and IT WORKS!." Instead, most of the messages I've read
only explain problems or incompatibilies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I ask these questions because I'm interested in
purchasing a camera (but I don't know WHICH camera will undoubtedbly work with
GEM on Windows XP) and displaying live video in the GEM window along with
various other GEM creations. Does anybody have experience with
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks</FONT></DIV>
