All, I'd like to clarify something... are video cameras like the pyro which send uncompressed data supported by any applications? I understand that Sony also makes quite a few of these video cameras as well. Secondly, how about digital cameras like the Nikon D1? It takes still pictures but can also capture video... although in what format I'm not sure. Felix |

I have a little program that displays the web/desktop cameras' video in a window--whoopee! I personally have the Orange Micro iBot. I'm interested in making these cameras work with Kino, and adding a play-n-grab feature to Kino to do stop-motion animation. Also, I am thinking it would not be difficult to make the camera output a JPEG image for use on a website. I just looked up the Nikon D1. In "Nikon Capture" mode it can out TIFF images. I'd have to view the raw isochronous stream in order to determine how it is packetizing the data. It's probably just a matter of taking consecutive packets of a single frame and wrapping it inside of a TIFF file. Right now, there is no app that can take advantage of it. I just saw it at a price of about US$5000; I can not afford that right now! +-DRD-+ Felix Tang wrote: > > All, > > I'd like to clarify something... are video cameras like the pyro which > send uncompressed data supported by any applications?

Dan, Thanks for the info. Does your program work with just the orange micro ibot? Is the source available? Yeah, the nikon camera is a bit pricey. I think I might avoid getting that to work for now. I'm more interested in getting a compressed/uncompressed video stream from a webcam like camera.
