Unreadabe web cam shots....

Is there a program or a way through xp to retrieve unreadable web cam shots. Its only a few burned discs. I don't know if it was me closing out the burn too soon (Impatient), or what. But i can see? other web cam shots, & i don't believe i ever changed the settings on the program. So can i retrieve wrongly formatted or corrupted images from my burned discs? ( i used to burn; nero 7.0, Sonic Record Now!, Roxio Classic creator) Thanks in advance.

How do i turn off the web cam? I shot camera?

I have a MacBook and the camera/web cam is on. How do I shut it off?

Hi
The camera should turn off automatically when no software is using it. As it's on all the time, it's possible that you have a login item which is automatically starting up and turning on the camera. Removing this login item should make the camera turn off until you need it.
To check login items, run System Preferences > Accounts
Select your personal account
Go to the Login Items tab
Deselect every option
Save/exit then log out and log back in again
With any luck, this should fix it

How to get slide change without a noise like a camera shot?

I have imported a PP2013 slideshow into CP 8.
The animation is working correct.
But when the slide changes to the next one,
there is a noise lik a camera shot.
Where can I eliminate that,
Thanks

Hi Manoj,
Correct, when you query the CMS database it will return the info for the object and not the source.
In code you can use this for Crystal Reports:
reportClientDocument.SummaryInfo.( multiple values )
This is the info saved with the RPT file, you can also use Windows File API's to get the same info.
For WEBI and DESKI doc's it does not keep that info in the file system. You may want to look at the file system properties in the FRS to see if any info is kept as it is in RPT files but we ahve no API to get the info.
Thank you

Support for HD (1280x720px) web-cams

Does JMF 2.1.1e support HD format (e.g. 1280x720 px, 30 FPS) web-cams?
After a recent purchase of a Netbook with web-cam, I finally got around to playing about with using JMF to access the inbuilt cam and grab sequences of frames (for time-lapse animations). Unfortunately the inbuilt camera is 640x480 and of otherwise low quality (as you might expect of a camera supplied as standard in a Netbook). Am considering buying a HD web-cam, but need to assure myself I am not spending $70+ for a camera that is not compatible with JMF.
Did a quick search of the forum for '720' and got 5 hits that were not relevant.
Side note: Checked the Netbook could take 4 hours worth of frames every 2 seconds and store them (into a Zip archive) at 640x480 using the internal camera on battery. It still had 31% charge left. It will be interesting to see how storing the images performs in terms of charge, using an USB based HD camera. ;)

Andrew, if you don't mind learning something new, I think your best bet would be Adobe Flex. It's free and it's got excellent support for web cams...

- A simple Java app. that will click a point on screen repeatedly using Robot.
- VLC media player connecting to the web cam and offering a snapshot button to click.
Connected to the new 'Fission'(1) webcam, I get 1600x1200 snapshots in .png format that I can further utilize to create either 1600x1200 4:3 ratio animations, or by cropping a little of the top & bottom and down-sizing, a 720p 16:9 ratio animation. I'd probably do the latter using JAI from an Ant task.
A test last night suggested it could only grab an image around once every 4 seconds. I set it for every 2 seconds over two hours, and while I expected 3600 images, I ended up with just 1836. Given the still camera could only manage one shot every 9 seconds or so, this still allows me to keep the same basic rate of progress of the animation at double the FPS (15->30) that I was seeking. The only other concern is the total length of animation obtainable via. a single battery pack. The 2 hour run took battery from 100% to 41%, but I am hoping I can stretch it to (at least) a 4 hour shoot using a 4 second delay.
1) I had never heard of the Fission brand before I saw it. I got it from Aldi(2) for $25 Aus. It supports a phenomenal range of formats, some astonishingly high.
2) Not sure if Aldi operates in your neck of the woods. They are a German based group that supplies groceries real cheap, and offer whatever other little nick-knacks that are also cheap.

HP Touch Smart 310-1125f All-In-One - Win 7 64-bit - Web-cam not working

Just got this system and I can't figure out how to start the web-cam. I don't know if it's the hardware, software or just me being dumb. Thanks

Howdy Happy:
No you are not dumb nor is it cam or software issue. I have addressed this issue several times in the forum. Oh how I wish the HP Moderator will post resolved answer. You found the web-cam software thats a pluss. So I can skip that. Least you found it. Slide the web-cam icon up ward and in the middle of screen and tap it. This now opens web-cam software. Your camera shoud now be on look at the center top of your computer you should see the green light on. Bottom of web-cam sceen is your control for recording. Press capture to record video and press snap shot to take picture. Side bar is additional effects you can add to your picture or video tap on your choice. To replay your vedio or picture just tap on your choice. tap on the washer like icon von this is where you set web-cam timer settings and other stuff at. You should be all set now. It only can be excessed in HP Touchsmart software window.Carousel is rotated till you find web-cam icon. Version 3 software is located on bottom row icons slide bottom row until see web-cam icon. Slide Web-cam icon up and in center screen and tap it. Tap it again if you do not see capture button. All set now have fun.

Sony digital camera as web cam?

I have a [Sony Cyber Shot|http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=1000 1&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=1004881] digital camera, which uses USB2. Can this be used as a web cam? I tried using [macam|http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net>, but unfortunately it didn't recognize the camera. Is there any other way? Or do I need to buy a mac-compatible web cam?
Thanks,
Domenic

Thanks sig and Roger. According to the specs for the camera, it includes some software for the mac. Something to do with music transfer, which I haven't yet had a chance to check out. Other than that it mentions nothing else. When I hook it up to the computer, iChat doesn't recognize it. When I try using macam, which is suppose to support USB web cams, it too doesn't recognize it. So it looks like I'm probably out of luck. The iUSBCam looks interest...

Web Cam & Screenshots

Hi Everyone!
I am hoping that someone can assist me in figuring out how to use both the Web Cam and Screenshots on my iMac. I will be taking several tests online for a job and they require the Web Cam to be active and that I be able to provide them with screen shots during the tests. While I have had Macs for many, many years, these are two features I am not familiar with and cannot find instructions on the computer itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure this applies to leopard too:

How do i use my web cam, where do i go to, to get started

Can't figure out where to go to be able to use my web cam. Its not in my devices and printers area.

Firstly, uninstall the current version of Cyberlink Youcam and re-install it.
To Uninstall: Click Start >> type Programs and Features in search and select it from the list >> In there, select Cyberlink Youcam and uninstall it.
Once done, try using webcam with Skype or any other messenger you may have, or else re-install Youcam.
If the above does not work, do a System Restore to a previous working date when the webcam worked.
System Restore: Click Start >> type System Restore in search and select it any perform on-screen instructions to restore the notebook to a previous working date.
If none of the above work, open Device Manager, check if you have 'HP Webcam' listed under Imaging Devices category.
You would find the Product Number on the sticker in the battery compartment, will be similar to XT594PA#ABA.

Satellite L505D-GS6000
Perhaps you mean you have the Satellite L505D-GS6000? Let's try a reinstall of the main base drivers, then the webcam driver/app, one more time. Download and install these drivers in this order:
AMD/ATI Display Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) v8.634.1
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
Toshiba Web Camera Application for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v1.1.1.6)
Then try the webcam again. Please let us know if it works, or if you get any error messages trying the above reinstalls. Good luck

Capture Web Cam image in APEX and Upload into the Database

Overview
By using a flash object, you should be able to interface with a usb web cam connected to the client machine. Their are a couple of open source ones that I know about, but the one I chose to go with is by Taboca Labs and is called CamCanvas. This is released under the MIT license, and it is at version 0.2, so not very mature - but in saying that it seems to do the trick. The next part is to upload a snapshot into the database - in this particular implementation, it is achieved by taking a snapshot, and putting that data into the canvas object. This is a new HTML5 element, so I am not certain what the IE support would be like. Once you have the image into the canvas, you can then use the provided function convertToDataURL() to convert the image into a Base64 encoded string, which you can then use to convert into to a BLOB. There is however one problem with the Base64 string - APEX has a limitation of 32k for and item value, so can't be submitted by normal means, and a workaround (AJAX) has to be implemented.
Part 1. Capturing the Image from the Flash Object into the Canvas element
Set up the Page
Required Files
Download the tarball of the webcam library from: https://github.com/taboca/CamCanvas-API-/tarball/master
Upload the necessary components to your application. (The flash swf file can be got from one of the samples in the Samples folder. In the root of the tarball, there is actually a swf file, but this seems to be a different file than of what is in the samples - so I just stick with the one from the samples)
Page Body
Create a HTML region, and add the following:
    <div class="container">
     <object id="iembedflash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240">
          <param name="movie" value="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
          <embed allowScriptAccess="always" id="embedflash" src="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" quality="high" width="320" height="240"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" mayscript="true" />
    </object>
    </div>
<p><a href="javascript:captureToCanvas()">Capture</a></p>
<canvas style="border:1px solid yellow" id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>That will create the webcam container, and an empty canvas element for the captured image to go into.
Also, have a hidden unprotected page item to store the Base64 code into - I called mine P2_IMAGE_BASE64
HTML Header and Body Attribute
Add the Page HTML Body Attribute as:
onload="init(320,240)"
JavaScript
Add the following in the Function and Global Variable Declarations for the page (mostly taken out of the samples provided)
//Camera relations functions
var gCtx = null;
var gCanvas = null;
var imageData = null;
var ii=0;
var jj=0;
var c=0;
function init(ww,hh){
     gCanvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
     var w = ww;
     var h = hh;
     gCanvas.style.width = w + "px";
     gCanvas.style.height = h + "px";
     gCanvas.width = w;
     gCanvas.height = h;
     gCtx = gCanvas.getContext("2d");
     gCtx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
     imageData = gCtx.getImageData( 0,0,320,240);
function passLine(stringPixels) {
     //a = (intVal >> 24) & 0xff;
     var coll = stringPixels.split("-");
     for(var i=0;i<320;i++) {
          var intVal = parseInt(coll);
          r = (intVal >> 16) & 0xff;
          g = (intVal >> 8) & 0xff;
          b = (intVal ) & 0xff;
          imageData.data[c+0]=r;
          imageData.data[c+1]=g;
          imageData.data[c+2]=b;
          imageData.data[c+3]=255;
          c+=4;
     if(c>=320*240*4) {
          c=0;
          gCtx.putImageData(imageData, 0,0);
function captureToCanvas() {
     flash = document.getElementById("embedflash");
     flash.ccCapture();
     var canvEle = document.getElementById('canvas');
     $s('P2_IMAGE_BASE64', canvEle.toDataURL());//Assumes hidden item name is P2_IMAGE_BASE64
     clob_Submit();//this is a part of part (AJAX submit value to a collection) two
}In the footer region of the page (which is just a loading image to show whilst the data is being submitted to the collection [hidden by default]) :<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#processing3.gif" id="AjaxLoading"
style="display:none;position:absolute;left:45%;top:45%;padding:10px;border:2px solid black;background:#FFF;" />If you give it a quick test, you should be able to see the webcam feed and capture it into the canvas element by clicking the capture link, in between the two elements - it might through a JS error since the clob_Submit() function does not exist yet.
*Part 2. Upload the image into the Database*
As mentioned in the overview, the main limitation is that APEX can't submit values larger than 32k, which I hope the APEX development team will be fixing this limitation in a future release, the workaround isn't really good from a maintainability perspective.
In the sample applications, there is one that demonstrates saving values to the database that are over 32k, which uses an AJAX technique: see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html#LARGE.
*Required Files*
From the sample application, there is a script you need to upload, and reference in your page. So you can either install the sample application I linked to, or grab the script from the demonstration I have provided - its called apex_save_large.js.
*Create a New Page*
Create a page to Post the large value to (I created mine as 1000), and create the following process, with the condition that Request = SAVE. (All this is in the sample application for saving large values).declare
     l_code clob := empty_clob;
begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_code, false, dbms_lob.SESSION );
     for i in 1..wwv_flow.g_f01.count loop
          dbms_lob.writeappend(l_code,length(wwv_flow.g_f01(i)),wwv_flow.g_f01(i));
     end loop;
     apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection);
     apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection,p_clob001 => l_code);
     htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
end;I also created a package for storing the collection name, which is referred to in the process, for the collection name:create or replace
package
wc_pkg_globals
as
g_base64_collection constant varchar2(40) := 'BASE64_IMAGE';
end wc_pkg_globals;That is all that needs to be done for page 1000. You don't use this for anything else, *so go back to edit the camera page*.
*Modify the Function and Global Variable Declarations* (to be able to submit large values.)
The below again assumes the item that you want to submit has an item name of 'P2_IMAGE_BASE64', the condition of the process on the POST page is request = SAVE, and the post page is page 1000. This has been taken srtaight from the sample application for saving large values.//32K Limit workaround functions
function clob_Submit(){
          $x_Show('AjaxLoading')
          $a_PostClob('P2_IMAGE_BASE64','SAVE','1000',clob_SubmitReturn);
function clob_SubmitReturn(){
          if(p.readyState == 4){
                         $x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
                         $x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = '';
          }else{return false;}
function doSubmit(r){
$x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = ''
     flowSelectAll();
     document.wwv_flow.p_request.value = r;
     document.wwv_flow.submit();
}Also, reference the script that the above code makes use of, in the page header<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#apex_save_large.js"></script>Assuming the script is located in workspace images, and not associated to a specific app. Other wise reference #APP_IMAGES#
*Set up the table to store the images*CREATE TABLE "WC_SNAPSHOT"
"WC_SNAPSHOT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BINARY" BLOB,
CONSTRAINT "WC_SNAPSHOT_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("WC_SNAPSHOT_ID")
create sequence seq_wc_snapshot start with 1 increment by 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "BI_WC_SNAPSHOT" BEFORE
INSERT ON WC_SNAPSHOT FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SELECT seq_wc_snapshot.nextval INTO :NEW.wc_snapshot_id FROM dual;
END;
Then finally, create a page process to save the image:declare
v_image_input CLOB;
v_image_output BLOB;
v_buffer NUMBER := 64;
v_start_index NUMBER := 1;
v_raw_temp raw(64);
begin
--discard the bit of the string we dont need
select substr(clob001, instr(clob001, ',')+1, length(clob001)) into v_image_input
from apex_collections
where collection_name = wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_image_output, true);
for i in 1..ceil(dbms_lob.getlength(v_image_input)/v_buffer) loop
v_raw_temp := utl_encode.base64_decode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_lob.substr(v_image_input, v_buffer, v_start_index)));
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_image_output, utl_raw.length(v_raw_temp),v_raw_temp);
v_start_index := v_start_index + v_buffer;
end loop;
insert into WC_SNAPSHOT (binary) values (v_image_output); commit;
end;Create a save button - add some sort of validation to make sure the hidden item has a value (i.e. image has been captured). Make the above conditional for request = button name so it only runs when you click Save (you probably want to disable this button until the data has been completely submitted to the collection - I haven't done this in the demonstration).
Voila, you should have now be able to capture the image from a webcam. Take a look at the samples from the CamCanvas API for extra effects if you wanted to do something special.
And of course, all the above assumed you want a resolution of 320 x 240 for the image.
Disclaimer: At time of writing, this worked with a logitech something or rather webcam, and is completely untested on IE.
Check out a demo: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=trents_demos:webcam_i (my image is a bit blocky, but i think its just my webcam. I've seen others that are much more crisp using this) Also, just be sure to wait for the progress bar to dissappear before clicking Save.
Feedback welcomed.

Hmm, maybe for some reason you aren't getting the base64 version of the saved image? Is the collection getting the full base64 string? Seems like its not getting any if its no data found.
The javascript console is your friend.
Also, in the example i used an extra page, from what one of the examples on apex packages apps had. But since then, I found this post by Carl: http://carlback.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-stuff-4-over-head-with-clob.html - I would use this technique for submitting the clob, over what I have done - as its less hacky. Just sayin.

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

Portege R835-P56X web cam application stuck on screen

So hi peeps, Ive had my Portege for almost 3 years, and this problem just started in the last month or so. The application menu that is hidden off screen and slides out when you put your mouse there is stuck on screen, will not go away, and remains on top when other programs are running. Its extremely annoying! There's no error message or anything. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how do you fix it?
TIA!!
