Finding capture device

hi,
im trying to determine through code whether a person has a web cam installed on the computer. I know the following code can do that but the code assume RGB format is supported by the capture device.
RGBformat rgbFormat = new RGBFormat();
Vector videoDevs = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(rgbFormat);
Is there a way i can retrieve the list of webcams registered with jmf without having to assume a specific format is supported?
thanks

Yeah, pass null instead... here's a code snippet.
Also, if this fails, you can try to iterate through the VFW ( video for windows ) devices too.
regards,
Owen
public CaptureDeviceInfo autoDetect ( )
    Vector list = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList ( null );
    CaptureDeviceInfo devInfo = null;
    if ( list != null )
        String name;
        for ( int i=0; i<list.size(); i++ )
            devInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo)list.elementAt ( i );
            name = devInfo.getName();
            if ( name.startsWith ("vfw:") )
                break;
        if ( devInfo != null && devInfo.getName().startsWith("vfw:") )
            return ( devInfo );
        else
            for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
                try
                    name = VFWCapture.capGetDriverDescriptionName ( i );
                    if (name != null && name.length() > 1)
                        devInfo = com.sun.media.protocol.vfw.VFWSourceStream.autoDetect ( i );
                        if ( devInfo != null )
                            return ( devInfo );
                catch ( Exception ioEx )
                    // ignore errors detecting device
                    statusBar.setText ( "AutoDetect failed : " + ioEx.getMessage() );
            return ( null );
    else
        return ( null );

Trouble finding Bootcamp device

I don't really understand the difference between Macintosh HD and the bootcamp devices on my mac other than the fact that when I try to install a game I have the option to choose which drive I would want the game to be installed on. Usually I would pick the Macintosh Hd drive but I don't have enough space on it to download anything else so I switched to the Bootcamp device. I continued to install my games through bootcamp successfully but then when I log back on to my computer to install another game bootcamp disappeared. I've tried looking for it but it's no where. Hope this makes sense. I'm not the best at computers and I'm at a complete loss of what to do.

ISync cannot find any device

Since a certain point in time (cannot remember exactly when, but it must have been 1-2 months ago) iSync does not show the phones I have configured (Nokia E72, 6300, N73, 6021). When I try to add them again, iSync stats looking for devices, but really gives up quickly (< 1 sec) and starts the Bluetooth app to find/add new devices. All mentioned devices are already known by the system, as they show up in the Bluetooth menu. I added my phone again E72), nut iSYnc still does not see it.
My guess is that there is no problem with the bluetooth connection, but iSync is having trouble finding a device.
I already repaired the permissions on the disk, but that didn't make any difference.
How can I get iSync working again?

Did not work either. I finally solved it myself. I restored the iSYnc app from the Time Machine backup. I also reinstalled the plugin for the Nokia E72 et voila ... it worked again.
I think that an action from the tool "CleanMyMac" caused the problem. I compared the corrupted app folder with the restored one and saw that there were language files missing. Maybe more was deleted by this tool, but I stopped searching for the cause. I am happy now that it works again.
Thnks for your time!

Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding scanner. Photoshop no problem.

Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding the scanner wirelessly unless it is on when the Mac starts up. Photoshop finds the scanner no problem. Any suggestions for Image Capture or Preview?
The scanner is Canon MP620. Mac is MBP, running 10.8.2
I have done all the uninstall, reinstall, update drivers, etc. Please don't bother suggesting that stuff.
Thanks.

As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions). With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works..... I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

Media Encoder not finding "audio capture device"

Hi,
Im using Adobe Flash Media Encoder with Dxtory for Twitch streaming, and at first it worked fine. Recorded both my mic and game audio perfectly. Then seemingly suddenly, I fired it up and it wouldn't stream the game audio. It would my Mic, but thats it. I then unplugged the mic and it started saying I had no Audio Capture Device. I checked in Dxtory and its set up the same as it was when it was working. It picks up both the mic and speakers like it should. I have uninstalled this program multiple times, both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, and each time when I re-download it, it loads up the same profile I had before. So when I am uninstalling it, its not uninstalling everything for some reason. Even though the program is no where to be found after its uninstalled. I have downloaded xsplit, and it picks up the game audio and my mic. So its just this program. Anyone have any ideas? I cant seem to find anything online about this issue.
Thanks!

From where? PP sequence? PP bin? PP Source Monitor? Watch folder?

I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions?

Trouble with detectin IDS Eagle capture device with JMF

Hi
I'm having trouble detecting my capture card (IDS Eagle model). Is anyone else having the same problem? I tried using the JMStudio tool but the only capture devices detected are the audio ones.
I have installed the WDM driver for this card but jmf doesn't detect it.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank yoU!

Hello Tania,
I think if you look at the source code for AVTransmit2.java, which can be downloaded, this will help you. Make sure you use javasound://8000 as one of the parameters when creating the AVTransmit2 object.

James

Trouble with Audio Console "Unable to find Audio device.

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and run XP Pro. Recently lost my install CD when moving back to school (crap...)
I was able to download and install the drivers for the card from creative. Windows Hardware manager says the device is working properly (more accurately the many devices associated with the sound card) and I know the device is functioning (at least in part) because I am able to play music through the digital optical out on the dri've bay panel.
At this point I am trying to install Audio Console.
I have downloaded and installed Audio Console from creative's website and then restarted my computer. Upon trying to launch the program the following message appears in a pop up:
"Unable to find Audio device. Please make sure that your audio device is enabled and installed with it's driver. This application will be closed."
I have checked 'Sounds and Audio Devices' in the control panel and it has "SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [B400]" for all selected audio devices.
What's the problem here? Has anyone encountered this problem before?
The Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is listed as compatible with the Audio Console software.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Opinions on low cost USB video capture devices for FMLE?

I have already tried a few such devices. I would at least like to achieve reasonable SD at 720 X 480. HD would be a plus, but not necessary. My camera has HDMI, SDI, and Component and composit out. I have already tried a couple of capture devices, and the results were as follows.
SIIG USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - JU-AV0012-S1
Pretty clear as to why this was so cheap. It claims full NTSC support, but that is only on the input. Output is 320 X 240 only.
DIAMOND USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device GC500 USB 2.0 Interface
Again, this unit claims "HD" but that is only on the input. Output is 640 x 480. The image quality was terrible with the supplied software, or with Adobe FMLE. Noisy, and well below full NTSC quality. Even when fed with the component out of a Sony NX5. Unacceptable. Even for the bargain price at Frys.
Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition
Seems I bought a dud. I went back and forth with Hauppauge support, and never could get this to be detected by FMLE, or the included software. On doing a search online for the error message I received, I discovered many similar trouble reports on various forums. I bought this one at a discounted price. Perhaps this is the reason why.
The notebook I have is a Windows unit, with no expresscard slot, or 1394 input (unfortunately). I did look briefly at the Blackmagic Intesity Shuttle, but it needs USB 3.0.
Curious to hear of any sucess with USB capture and FMLE, and with a device under (hopefully well under?)$200.

I've been streaming with the ION Video2PC capture device...it works flawlessly with no problem. The machine I've been testing it on can only pump out 480p or 540p at the most. But, I'm sure if I used it on a faster machine I would get way better results. You can find them used under $30 bucks online and unlike most cheap capture/input devices, you can access the video and audio in FMLE. Just thought, I'd share they info.

How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
Problems include:
1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
Bye

Use a capture device twice at the same time?

I have write a application using JMF. But I have a big question that how can I use a capture device several times at the same time????
For example:
I create a player to play video from my webcam on my PC ,and then I want to send the video stream from my webcam to another PC at the same time. But I failed--only one task can work.
For example:
1, I write a class Player and another class RTPTransmit. Then I send the same medialocator to two of them. Then there will be a exception said that capture device is in use. And only one task can work.
2, I write a class Player and another class RTPTransmit. Then I use :
dataSource1 = Manager.createDataSource( locator );
dataSource2 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource( dataSource1 );
then I send dataSource1 to Player object to play video on local PC and send dataSource2 to RTPTransmit to send video to another PC. But only one task will work too.
My question is that how can I use a capture device several times at the same time???
I have tried several ways and sill can not find a method. If anyone know how to do,could you tell me please? Thank you very much.

Yes ,I use Manager.createCloneableDataSource() method to create the clone of the datasource ,but it can not work too. The java doc illustration is :
Creates a cloneable DataSource. The returned DataSource implements the SourceCloneable interface and enables the creation of clones by the createClone method.
If the input DataSource implements SourceCloneable, it will be returned right away as the result. Otherwise, a "proxy" DataSource is created. It implements the SourceCloneable interface and can be used to generate other clones.
When createCloneableDataSource is called on a DataSource, the returned DataSource should be used in place of the original DataSource. Any attempt to use the original DataSource may generate unpredictable results.
It means that if I clone a datasoure from original datasource, then the createCloneableDataSource() method will return a datasuouce implements interface SourceCloneable, right ? I see that the intereface SourceCloneable has a abstract method createClone() , but when I use createCloneableDataSource() to get a source clone, I find that I can not use method createClone(), why??? For example: data1 is the
orginal datasource. Then:
DataSource data1 = Manager.createDateSource( locator );
DataSource data2 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource( data1 );
now data2 is the "proxy" datasource which implemnets the interface, right? But I can not use data2.cloneClone() ,why? Then I write the fllowing code:
DataSource data3 = Mangaer.createCloneableDataSource( data2 );
DataSource data4 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource( data2 );
playOnLocalPc = new PlayOnLocalPc( data3 );
playOnLocalPc.start();
rtpTransmit = new RTPTransmit( data4 );
rtpTransmit.start();
PlayOnLocalPc and RTPTransmit is my own class to play or transmit video stream. But they can not work at the same time. If I play video from webcam on local PC and then start to transmit stream to other PC , the play window will become black. Why?????It is too strange. Dose anyone know the reason ,please tell me, thank you very much. Giving some example code will be better:) Thank you again!

Can't get driver to work with ezcap usb 2.0 video capture device on windows 8.1

I have an ezcap video capture device that works fine on my windows 7 machine but will not work in windows 8.1. The software (arcsoft 3.5) functions properly but will not let me select the video grabber as a source. The driver itself indicates not compatible with 8.1 and the there are no drivers out there that I can find to address this issue? Any known solution would be helpful.

Hi,
It is not from HP. Please try driver from the following link:

(After the first screen shot).
