How to take advantage of H.264 video streaming of webcam BCC950

We used flex 4.6 to develop an web app using Logitech webcam of BCC950, We used Graphedit of Directdraw to know BCC950 has pin 0 to support i320,RGB24,and mjpg stream, and pin 3 to support H.264 stream. We also set h264videostreamingsettings in as code to ask for H.264 data directly from the webcam, but from the CPU consuming we can judge flash player only fetch pin 0 uncompressed data instead of H.264 data directly. We need to take advantage of BCC950 H.264 support to get webcam hardware compressed H.264 streaming data to avoid compression by CPU/software. As we know flash does not give programmers choice to define the pin to get data, then what we need to do to make sure we can get H.264 video stream from the webcam directly? thanks. Henry

...well I did follow that article on playing an h264/mpeg4
video in flash. It works well, but how would you add playback
controls?
FLVPlayback component only allows you to source an FLV video
not h264/mpeg4.
This is probably a simple as3 answer...but I am not
knowledgeable on as3 to know what code to add.
Any suggests or direction that I should look would be great.
In the meantime I am researching actionscript 3 to find and anwer.

H.264 Video Streaming Help

Need help integrading H.264 Video Streaming in Flex. I started looking at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3796848#3796848.
It is now out of date and flash player 11 is released (no longer from incubator site). How is the set up different now? Since my project is built on the older SDK, is there any way to do this on Flex SDK 3.5?
I have already dewnloaded and installed flash player 11 and am using the following code:
            import flash.media.H264VideoStreamSettings;
            import flash.media.VideoStreamSettings;
            import flash.media.H264Level;
            import flash.media.VideoCodec;
            import flash.media.H264Profile;
            nsPublish = new NetStream(nc_publish);
            var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
            h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_2);
            nsPublish.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you have the new playerglobal.swc also drop this additional compiler arg: -swf-version=13. Need also to target flash player 11.
I did it with 4.5 works like a charm. If this does not make it work you may need to upgrade. If you encounter errors can you post them ?

Why don't you use several layers with appropriate alpha properties, and move these layers according to the mouse events?

How to show a MPEG4/H.264 video in Flash in an HTML page?

Maybe my title isn't clear. I am hoping someone can shed some
light on the h264 use in flash.
Instead of displaying a progressive download .FLV video , I
am trying to have an MPEG4 /h.264 approx. - a 30meg video display
in flash in an .html page. Quicktime is easy to do, but Flash is my
goal.
I read several articles on h264 and flash 9, including this
adobe
H264 article but was hoping there might be an easier and maybe
quicker solution. I did try renaming the .mp4 extension to .flv in
dreamweaver but it did not display the video. (...unless it was
downloading the video completely before displaying...not sure)
There is a ton of sites, blogs and articles on h.264 and how
flash 9 will display it...but when it comes to how one might
actually have h.264 in flash on their own site...I am finding it
difficult to figure out.
Forgive my lack of action script and Flash knowledge...any
direction is appreciated.

How to take advantage of parallel SQL select?

Is it possible to take advantage of a parallel SQL select by specifying computations over the constituent subsets before they are consolidated? For example, suppose I have a very large table of sales employees, and I want to generate a sales report for each one in an efficient manner. Would it be possible to perform a parallel SQL select over the entire table, and pass each subset of employees to a report generation batch job? Or, perhaps this is a poor strategy and you have a better approach in mind.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Parallel Query (PQ) is an Oracle feature that parallelises a vanilla standard SQL for you.
In other words, when designing the SQL you do not design it for each parallel process processing a specific set of data.
The CBO determines all that. Whether it can be done in parallel (not all SQL is equal and not all SQL can be executed using PQ). How many PX slaves from the PQ pool can be used/are available for use. What range of data each of the processes will be processing. Etc.
Suggest you read Parallelize the Workload in the Oracle® Database Performance Tuning Guide.

How to take advantage of 802.11ac wi-fi with AirPort Extreme?

Greetings. I will be purchasing a new iMac that will support 802.11ac wi-fi and would like to take advantage of this by using the Apple AirPort Extreme but I'm not sure how. I currently have a modem (Cisco DPC3825) from my internet provider, which does not support 802.11ac. If I were to connect the AirPort Extreme to my modem (DPC3825) via an Ethernet cable and then (wirelessly) connect my new iMac to the netowrk, would I receive 802.11ac or just b/g/n still? In addition, when I connect the AirPort Extreme to my modem, will it create two networks (i.e. one network for the AirPort Extremem + my original wifi network) or can you merge it into one network? Hopefully what I'm asking makes sense. Thank you.

If I were to connect the AirPort Extreme to my modem (DPC3825) via an Ethernet cable and then (wirelessly) connect my new iMac to the netowrk, would I receive 802.11ac or just b/g/n still?
802.11ac would be received by the iMac if it connected to the AirPort Extreme wireless signal....and....the iMac was in close proximity to the AirPort Extreme.
802.11ac uses the 5 GHz frequency, and these signals only work well then the router and computer are in the same room or have a line-of-sight relationship to each other, or very close to that ideal.
In addition, when I connect the AirPort Extreme to my modem, will it create two networks
The AirPort Extreme will create a network with two bands or frequencies.....one 2.4 GHz for "b", "g" and "n" wireless devices and another band, the 5 GHz signal for "n" and "ac" devices.
If you assign the same name to the AirPort Extreme network that you use for your existing network, and both routers are using the same wireless security settings and password, then everything will act like one "big" network.
If you assign a different name to the AirPort Extreme wireless network, then you will have two different networks....one produced by your existing router and the other produced by the AirPort Extreme.
If you move from one area to another, you will have to log off of one network and log back onto the other network.

Advantages of JMF in video streaming

Hi,
Video conferencing can be done by many methods but why JMF is used for video/audio streaming
what are its advantages? and Also what are its disadvantages?
Is there any other better way to do video conferencing ?
Please give details regarding the current scenario of JMF in video streaming.
thanx

Video conferencing can be done by many methods but why JMF is used for video/audio streaming
what are its advantages?It has RTP built-in, handles a handful of the most basic codecs, there is decent documentation for it...is written in Java... easily extendible for new codec support...
what are its disadvantages? It hasn't been updated or supported in 7 years... Windows 2000 was the last supported operating system... has bugs which will never be fixed... only supports a handful of low-bandwidth formats for streaming...
Is there any other better way to do video conferencing ? Yeah, tons...the best alternative right now would probably be with Adobe Flex technology, but JavaFX and Silverlight will both have audio & video capturing / streaming capabilities soon...

How to demultiplex the merged audio and video streams

Hi. I'm currently working on a video conferencing program. I successfully implemented the program using threads to run the audio and the video clients and servers. The problem with this is that the delay for the transmission of both media is a little too great. So now, I'm trying to merge both media into on DataSource, so then I don't have to worry about sending audio and video into 2 different ports and RTP sessions. I know how to merge the audio and video streams, but I was wondering how to extract each media back after receiving the merged audio and video streams. Any ideas? I used the createMergingDataSource(the_DataSource_array) method to merge both streams. Thanks.

QT 7.6: Half of the HD H.264 video stream is grey ( QT 7.5.5 works fine )

Hi,
I have a problem while playing video from:
http://83.170.73.198/IvTattooHD.sdp
Lower half of the video is grey when playing using QT 7.6 but it's displayed correctly by QT version 7.5.5.
This video uses I and P slices and each slice is sent in two fragments - halves of the image. Upper half displays correctly but the lower one displays correctly I-slices only. P-slices are painted over the grey background instead of the I-slices. If the stream contains I-slices only, everything is ok.
The video stream is streamed using Darwin streaming server, but the same problem occurs when I play video directly from the camera.
Video is also played correctly when the payload is stored using e.g. Wireshark.
Is it bug in new QT or is there something wrong with my stream?
Thanks for your help.

We had also another problem with this stream previously. Maybe it is related to this one.
The problem was that QT 7.5.5. QT expected the number of reference frames to be set to 2 even if there is actually one reference frame only (but composed of two half-frames). This bug caused that the lower half of the image has not been painted correctly and also caused a memory leak and crash of QT.
It seems to be fixed now in QT 7.6 - memory consumption seems to be stable, but the second half of the reference frame is still not stored/reused for P-slice rendering.

Saving video stream from webcam periodically!!!

Hi there, I want to catch every 1 minute video stream from the webcam, or video file, and save it into separate files. Of course I woudl like to have possibility to save many streams simultaneously. Any idea?
Best regards

Hi,
I want to do the same thing ... I was able to stream audio through the socket but could not stream video.
I posted my question at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674676&tstart=15
and presented a sketch of my implementation design. But until now no one has answered my question.
This is how you should hook up the components on the transmitter side
Webcam --> Processor --> Custom DataSink --> PushBufferStream --> PushBufferHandler --> Socket --> Network.
You can implement the transferData() method of the PushBufferHandler to write to a socket.
And on the Receiver side the components should be hooked up like this
Network --> Socket --> PullBufferStream --> custom DataSource --> Player
Now as I mentioned in
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674676&tstart=15
the audio works fine but the video does not. The video does not render on the receiver side.
Note: I tried TCP sockets with audio and it is terrible (not practical at all) so I reverted to UDP datagrams and the result was better than I expected. I didn't take care of the ordering of received packet at the receiver but it still worked fine.
I am still looking waiting for some help in why video is not rendering and how can I sovle this problem.
I am workning on a project and time is running out.
Any help?

How do you re-encode h.264 video without artifacts?

Hi
I have a video that was exported out of Premiere using h.264 at max 20mbps. All is good. Since the export takes 10+ hours I now want to create a version for Vimeo and Youtube. Becuase of the file size I don't want to upload the entire 2GB file to these services (I have a 5GB week limit upload at Vimeo) so I'll simply bring the file back into Premiere and export it using the Vimeo or Youtube setting with the max mbps around 5mbps or so. When I do this the resulting output file is unplayable, lots of artifacts and stutters. Some blacks are white even. I'm guessing Premiere is having an issue becuase it's re-encoding an already coded h.264 file, or something like that. Any ideas why this would happen and any solution to producing a good output?
Cheers.

As Dave stated, re-compressing already lossy-compressed video directly into another lossy compressed format is never a good idea: In this instance, image quality will degrade severely from that of the original AVCHD video. And all of the suggested intermediate files for Windows habe their disadvantages: DNxHD (and possibly UT) invoke the Apple QuirckTime API that induces a severe gamma shift in the encoded video (in the worst cases, whites come out medium-gray and middle tones come out pitch black) and is very slow to process due to it being restricted to 32-bit operations. Lagarith requires a massively powerful CPU - far more powerful than even a heavily overclocked i7-3960X - just to even play back well (this is based on my experience with Lagarith and my heavily overclocked i7-2600K, which dropped frames massively on playback of Lagarith-encoded material).

How to take a picture from a video file

Is there a way to take a picture of video clip from the web? I am trying to pull a pic of a video file, a single frame. Is there an app, or a really easy way to crop and save a photo to my library?

Pause the video where you want the clip then use shift+command+4 to get a cross hair selector and drag that across the part of the screen you want to capture, it will be saved as Screenshot_date_time to your Desktop
