I only used a webcam with pd but my experience is limited (mostly because everything just worked out of the box for me). AFAIK there are some issues with newer cameras that are only supported by v4l2. In any case, there are several packages that support a camera input: GEM, pdp (which you probably already know) and gridflow (www.gridflow.ca). Gridflow is a matrix based image processing library. In GEM, [pix_video] is your friend. The help file shows you haw it should be used. In pdp [pdp_4l] or [pdp_v4l2] in gridflow you use [#camera]. I know that some new functionality in terms of interfacing with various camera drivers has recently been added to gridflow so there are chances that your webcam will be supported. Also, gridflow's [#camera] is an abstraction which, when opened, gives you quite a few options for user-friendly configurations. Note, that if you are mostly interested in GEM, [pix_video] does not work for you but either pdp or gridflow does, there a bridges for exchanging between pdp and GEM or gridflow and GEM. HTH... although I know it's vague... ./MiS On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 7:24 AM, Dave Phillips <dlphillips@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Greetings, > > Has anyone here used a webcam with Pd ? Or Fluxus ?
