Re: [Wxcam-users] greetings

[Galimba <ga...@gm...>]

Hello everyone.

I'm downloading the CVS right now.
I noticed you use automake and I'm not familiar with the software and it's
configuration files. I was wondering: what's the best way to include the
assembler functions into the compilation process?

Lets say I have a cool filter coded in assembler, and I save the source in *
filter.asm*. This file, exports the function *void asm_filter(...);*
Now I want to use it, so I add a new filter option to the interface, and
then declare a new function on the header *filters.h*:
*void asm_filter(...);
*
then I expand the declaration on *filters.cpp*:
*#extern void cool_filter(...);
...
...

void cool_filter(...){
    asm_filter(...);
}
**...
...*

The question is... how do I get automake to compile and link the *filter.asm
* file into a *filter.o*, and then use it's exported function to handle the
missing function?

Right now, I'm using *nasm -g -f elf filter.asm* to compile, and *ld* to
link, and it'd be great if I could get the Makefile to do the job done.

Thanks in advance
Sebastian

[Wxcam-users] greetings

[Galimba <ga...@gm...>]

Hello guys,
My name is Sebastian. I'm a Computer Science undergrad student at
Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina).
I've downloaded the sorces for wxcam and as part of a project for
college, a friend of mine and I are planning on extending the filters
section with some SSE-assembler functions.
If thats ok with you, we could use your insight.

Best regards

[Wxcam-users] Is audio supposed to work?

[edwardtisdale_2004 <edw...@ya...>]

I see that the video in wxcam records well with my webcam, while in 
cheese it freezes all the time. The problem though, is cheese will 
record the audio and wxcam won't. Is there a fix for this?

[Wxcam-users] Sound and video not in sync

[Félix T. <ftr...@ms...>]

I record a video with sound, but the sound is not synchronized with the video. This is the first time I made videos so I guess this is a newbie question. But in the options, it says that it has 20 seconds of silence. I tried changing it, but it's still not in sync, at different levels. 		 	   		  

[Wxcam-users] Error message when I want to record video

[Félix T. <ftr...@ms...>]

When I try to record video, I see the timer, but there is an error message that says it can't open the file home/felix/Desktop/video.avi. When I want to take a snapshot, it says it can't open the file /home/felix/Desktop/image.tif. Anyone can help me? 		 	   		  

[Wxcam-users] Sensitivity Percentages

[John E. <je...@cf...>]

Could somebody kind of clue me in generally about how, in the Area 
Sensitivity Settings of WxCam, that the various options work.  
Sensitivity %, and Area percentages.  I'm sure increasing the percentage 
makes it more sensitive.  I'm not sure what the area (%) does.

Normally, I set the area that I want to monitor, and I frequenty adjust 
the sensitivity down a bit, but the area % puzzles me.

And what do the Min/Mean/Max mean to me and to the options you can change.

If I see Red:  20  Min=0.0, Mean=40.8, Max=100 etc.  What does the 20% 
have to do with the Min/Mean/Max etc.

Thanks... for you help...

Re: [Wxcam-users] xvid.h not found compiling for 64 bits linux mint

[Manuel G. <mga...@gm...>]

This is to Min Yong Yoon.

Hope this is useful to you (too late?)

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 11.04.

You need to install libxvidcore-dev

Note that there is no "4", as indicated in wxcam web site.

You can do this with apt-get or with synaptic, as allways.

I did not need to change #ifdef HAVE_CAMV4L to #ifndef HAVE_CAMV4L after
I installed libv4l-devel package. This should probably be added to the docs.

'make LDFLAGS=-lX11' helped, but this should be fixed in configure/Makefile.in.

[Wxcam-users] Crash on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit

[Mike S. <mik...@gm...>]

WxCam starts up OK but freezes if I select "Frame Size" from the Settings
menu.  The video is displayed in a  very small window on startup.  If I make
the video full screen it does not freeze but it is obviously a small picture
scaled up (very blocky pixels).  All the required libraries are present.  I
will be glad to provide more info if you need it.  The camera is the
Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000.  Here is the output:

mike@Dell64:~$ wxcam
Determining video4linux API version...
Using video4linux 2 API
VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES: Invalid argument
V4L2_CID_GAMMA is not supported
Determining pixel format...
pixel format: MJPEG
Found V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG pixel format
pixel format: YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)
Found V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV pixel format

If I select Frame Size from Settings menu here the picture freezes and the
CPU become about 50% busy until I force quit.

This may be unrelated but wxCam actually crashes if I use an older webcam.
 Cheese works OK so I know the camera works but it is a very old Logitech
Quickcam - the new camera is the one I really care about for now.  The crash
occurs on startup and shows this output:

[Wxcam-users] compile errors on Fedora

[Nerijus B. <ne...@us...>]

Hello,

On Fedora 14 I had to change #ifdef HAVE_CAMV4L to #ifndef HAVE_CAMV4L
in 2 files, because otherwise I got:

  CXX    audio.o
In file included from setting.h:26:0,
                 from audio.cpp:22:
v4l.h:30:30: fatal error: libv4l1-videodev.h: No such file or directory

BTW, I did not find where HAVE_CAMV4L is defined?

It did not link too:
  CXXLD  wxcam
/usr/bin/ld: frame.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XGetWindowAttributes'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XGetWindowAttributes' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line

[Wxcam-users] Question about Cooperation - http://wxcam.sourceforge.net/

[Rafał F. <raf...@gm...>]

Greetings.

I am the owner of the http://dnasoftware.pl website, which specialises in file download. It is a new website, which I plan to develop not only considering file download, but also online entertainment in many aspects. However, I do not want to overwhelm my website with a giant amount of advertisements, thus preventing visitors to find what they want. I want this site to develop in a professional and sensible way.

I noticed that you have created some very interesting programs, which I would gladly place on my website. The download link would be redirected to the download section of your website. Furthermore, I would place additional link which would redirect visitors to your website, once they click the name of the creator of the program. Were you to agree, I would like to know if you would provide me with the description of a program, or should I prepare one myself? I believe that such form of cooperation will bring many mutual profits, as well as increase the number of visitors on our websites.

If you would agree to my placement of your programs on the DnaSoftware.pl website, would it be possible for you to place a link to my website in a visible place on your website?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Pozdrawiam

[Wxcam-users] Accelerated videos

[Eduardo S. A. S. <edu...@sy...>]

Hi all.

I am experiencing a problem when record videos with
audio. When I play these videos, they play "accelerated".
For example, if I record a 3 minutes video and play it,
it plays so fast and have just 2:15 in fact. Uncompressed
videos and compressed videos without sound are recorded
normally.

I am using wxCam 1.0.7 on MeeGo system, but I tested
on OpenSUSE 11.1 and got the same problem.

Someone knows what is the problem and how I can fix it?

Re: [Wxcam-users] dsp problem using xvid

I didn't understand your question very well. Are you trying to

If this is your problem and you got the error message

"Cannot open /dev/dsp. Video file will be recorded without audio track"

try to load snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss modules.

Because in the wxCam download page, there is no deb package for 64-bit
architecture (amd64), I decided to compile this from source, and install
wxCam. I have several operating systems installed on my box, especially
VENENUX GNU/Linux 0.8. But, I'm testing a system with Debian GNU/Linux 6.0
'squeeze' (Kernel 2.6.32-5) on a processor Dual Core Pentium E5500
(64-bits, 2.8 Ghz, RAM 4GB). My idea is to compile wxCam for future
VENENUX version based on the new Debian 'squeeze', and that this
application meets many more functions to be used in research.

The compilation was carried out without problems. This was what I did:

1.- After I have thoroughly read the instructions to compile from wxCam
home page, I was reviewing the versions of the packages and their
dependencies (at the background of 'squeeze'), and I concluded that these
are the necessary repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list for the task:

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main

2.- The first two repo's are what I have in my sources.list, but anyone
can use your own. The important thing here is that directly from any
debian repository, the section 'main' is enough to install the following
packages (with aptitude):

libwxgtk2.8, and libwxgtk2.8-dev (wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI
toolkit) cimg-dev (powerful image processing library; version 1.3.9-1)
libgtk2.0-0 (library of graphical user interface GTK+)
libgtk2.0-dev (development files library GTK+)
libglade2-dev (development files for libglade)
intltool (useful scripts for internationalizing XML; version 0.41.1-1)
libquicktime-dev (library for reading and writing Quicktime files)
pkg-config (manage compile and link flags for libraries)

This will install other dependencies that anyone can verify (automake,
etc., if necessary). The package cimg-dev used was at version 1.3.9-1,
which not know if it is greater than version 1.33 (as recommended in wxCam
home page).

3.- Also, directly from debian-multimedia repository, the section 'main'
is enough to install the following packages (with aptitude):

libxvidcore4, and libxvidcore4-dev (High quality ISO MPEG4 codec library;
version 2:1.2.2-0.1)

This will install other dependencies that anyone can verify, but I do not
remember now!.

4.- The debian-multimedia repository 'experimental', the section 'main' is
enough to install libmjpegtools-dev, and libmjpegtools-1.10-0 (MJPEG video
capture/editting/playback MPEG encoding; version 1:2.0.0~rc1-0.0), with
its dependencies.

5.- Download the source code was as follows (where any novice can learn,
including me!):

$ cd /tmp

$ wget -c
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxcam/files/wxcam/1.0.7/wxcam-1.0.7.tar.gz

$ tar -xvzf wxcam-1.0.7.tar.gz

6.- Then we begin the compilation of wxCam 1.0.7:

$ cd /tmp/wxcam-1.0.7/

$ ./configure

$ make

$ make install

7.- I have not posted the output of 'configure', 'make' and 'make install'
because it is rather long, but the compilation was very fast. The only
problem I had in my first attempt was to install the package missing
'intltool' (version 0.41.1-1 > 0.38 that was required, if I remember!). In
the second attempt, everything was fine!. In wxCam web site, is reported
that when compiling for 64-bit systems, it may be an error such as "was
int_64 already declared in this scope" in the file
'/usr/include/mjpegtool/mjpeg_types.h' due to a bug in mjpeg library. This
error was not present, may be that the bug has already been fixed and
corrected until today!. In addition, the file 'mjpeg_types.h' only has 28
lines, therefore, the non-existent row 40 can not be commented as a
partial solution to the bug. Therefore did not need to do anything! .. :)

8. Testing wxCam 1.0.7 with webcam's: the application appears at the K
Menu (I use KDE 4.4.5), under 'Multimedia', with the name "Webcam
Application". I tested with a Logitech QuickCam E1000, and Philips
SPC900NC webcam. Both work perfectly!.

I am not an expert compiling and packing, so I can not offer a deb package
for 64-bit, I need to learn more. But this job was easy and my post can
help others to build wxCam in its Debian stable 64-bits. I will try other
webcam and then write if I have problems. Thanks and congratulations to
the developers, it's great wxCam.

[Wxcam-users] path to audio device won't change

I had to change the audio device path to /dev/snd and when I click ok it 
stays, but when I try to record, I still get this message:


Cannot open /dev/dsp. Video file will be recorded without audio track.

I am using a Realtek alc880 audio card with amd64.

[Wxcam-users] xvid.h not found compiling for 64 bits linux mint

[Wxcam-users] Wrong CImg version requirements

[Lorenz Q. <do...@am...>]

Hey,

on your homepage you state that wxCam requires CImg-1.2.
I'm afraid this is not correct. Installing wxCam-1.0.7 with CImg-1.3.1 failed because:

"frame.cpp:485:16: error: ‘struct cimg_library::CImg<unsigned char>’ has no member named ‘laplacian’"

It seems this function was added to CImg in CVS-revision 1.320 unfortunately I couldn't find out what CImg-version that 
corresponds to. With the latest version (CImg-1.4.6) wxCam compiles fine. So rev 1.320 (and thus laplacian()) seems to 
be somewhere between version 1.3.1 and 1.4.6.

Cheers,
//Lorenz

[Wxcam-users] Wxcam 1.0.7 installation troubles

[<ben...@ca...>]

Hi,

Tried to install wxcam tonight on Ubuntu 10.04, Did install all as explained in the installation part. however, libwxbase has no version newer than 2.8.10.1.

During install, the installer exits with a message (in Dutch)

Fout: Aan de volgende afhankelijkheid kon niet voldaan worden: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.11.0)

It says that one dependencie can not be fullfilled: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.11.0)

2.8.10.1 is not >= 2.8.11.0 but where can i get this ?

Thanks for your support,

Ben

[Wxcam-users] Tool Bar Not Appearing

[John E. <je...@cf...>]

I don't think this is actually related to WxCam but if it happens to 
anybody else, here is the circumvention.

If the tool bar "File/Settings/Capture/Effects/Info" fails to appear 
when you start the WxCam, a you can make it appear by using "export 
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0".

In my case, I created a launcher that had the command: bash -c "export 
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 && wxcam"

I first saw this problem (and experienced it) with Audacity and 
successfully tried the fix on WxCam when I installed it and brought it 
up today and saw the problem.

[Wxcam-users] Using xvid compression results in playback too fast

[wayne <bro...@gm...>]

Hi All,
I've successfully compiled 1.0.6 on my Ubuntu linux 10.04 amd64 arch box 
and it looks really good.

My problem is when I record using xvid compression the playback runs too 
fast with the resulting audio being gabbled and the video running too 
quickly.

I've been searching the net for a work around or fix and have drawn a 
blank, does anyone know a work around or fix please as it would be much 
appreciated?


Thanks,

Wayne.

Re: [Wxcam-users] Composite Video Input

[Randy B <het...@gm...>]

I tried all of the Video Standards yesterday (I am using NTSC).

I was able to get it working this morning by doing the following.
Frame format: YUYV
Driver: AUTO

Close the program and reopen. This gave me static on the screen instead of
black indicating it was pulling from the Television input (actually it only
showed static for a second and then went black but this was because mythtv
is running in the background - if I shut mythtv down it stays static).

To get my survallence CCTV camera working on the composite input I did the
following:
Close wxCam
Open XawTV
Change input to: Composite1
Close XawTV
Open wxCam and now instead of showing the Television input it is pulling
from Component1.

Maybe my next research will be to find out how to get v4l to use Component1
by default.
