Hi,
You can try a package named: JTwain, which is available at http://asprise.com/product/jtwain.
JTwain supports all kinds of digital cameras and scanners. You can use Java to access, contorl digital cameras and scanners, and of course, to acquire images with flexible settings.
The developers' guide is available @ http://asprise.com/product/jtwain/devGuide.php
In the simplest case, one line of Java code can solve your problem.
Good luck!

Compressing video files via Java ?

Hi All,
Is there any well know API/library for compressing video files like (*.flv, *.mkv , *.avi ) etc via java.
Google just gave me a few but if some has used/recommend some that would be great.
thx

Not sure if FLV files support multiple kinds of compression, but AVIs do. You can have anything from an uncompressed RGB-encoded AVI all the way to a DIV-X encoded AVI.
But to answer your actual question, no. Java is extraordinarily bad at video compression (because Java doesn't support any sort of hardware acceleration), so the best you're going to find in Java is a Java wrapper for some native encoding library... an example of such a thing would be JMF (which doesn't support FLV or MKV files) or FMJ (which I think supports damned near everything as it wraps around FFMPEG).

How to turn on video webcam?

How do I turn on the video webcam on skype?

Can you see your camera video feed under "Tools" - "Options" - "Video Settings"? If Skype does not detect your camera, then you will not be able to use it. If you are using a processor that is not fully Pentium 4 compatible (like AMD socket/slot A processors), your video will not be detected in Skype though it may work elsewhere.

How to make vertical flip of video webcam.

Hi all.
I am using logitech webcam, i can show video and take piture well.
Now i want to make vertical flip of video.
They can do it ? If you have any experience, please help me.
Thanks.
Diego

Well, I really see 2 avenues you can go down...
The "proper" way to do it would be to create a custom "effect" that would flip the video frames inside the processor. You'd want to base this off the following example code:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RotationEffect.html]
The "easy" way to do it would be to render the graphics yourself. You would just essentially need to create a class that implements the "VideoRender" interface (probably extending a JPanel implementing VideoRenderer), and use the BufferToImage class inside the "process" function to convert the inputted buffer object into a BufferedImage, which you would then render to the JPanel upside down... This probably sounds more complicated than it is, however... Process gives you a frame as a buffer, you use a utility to convert the buffer to an image, and then you draw the image to the screen. Quite a simple procedure, really...

Eternal Pidgin video webcam error.

(19:14:53) Error with your webcam
(19:14:54) Conference error
(19:14:54) The call has been terminated.
I thought this error was related with my old webcam (that camera had problems with several software) but I have now a new Microsoft camera (VX-800) that works in almost all apps, is detected by Skype and Flash inmediately but that pidgin error is the same. It is important to say I'm using ArchLinux with XFCE4.
I've installed gnome-media, farsight2, enable "Voice/Video settings plugin", setted gstreamer-properties.
Does anybody knows something?
Thank you.

Early 2008 mac pro 8 core quicktime videos opening in java script code

When I try to view a quicktime video it opens in Java Script Code instead of playing the video on my early 2008 Dual Quad Core 2.8 Ghz. Mac Pro running OSX 10.5.8

That's not much to go on, but I doubt it has anything to do with it being a Mac Pro. Select the clip and Get Info (Cmd I) to see what application is named in the "Open with" drop down menu. If it is anything other than QuickTime player, change it and try again. Also, repair your permissions...

Opening a webcam using java

Hi all,
can anybody give me a sample java code for opening a webcam of my system.Thank you

My code is:
import javax.media.Manager;
import javax.media.MediaLocator;
import javax.media.Player;
public class TestJMF {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          try{
          MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
          Player p = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ml);
          p.start();
          }catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
I also tried your first link.
That code is not even compiling.
the line
ds = Manager.createDataSource(new MediaLocator("vfw://0"));
is showing exception( Type mismatch: cannot convert from DataSource to DataSource)
One more thing i am compiling in eclipse.Will it cause any problem in viewing the webcam?

HD Video Webcam for mac?

Hey!
I am looking for a quality HD or even FULL HD webcam that captures smooth video on my MacBook pro. This cam is used to do some video recording of my dj sessions for friends and colleagues. Sound is taken from a high end sound interface (Apogee Duet).
Looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQSp7XsYLfA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pjShLiHMWs
I was told that Logitech webcams like the full HD C910 cannot work together with my Mac OS X (driver not exist). Is that right?
What other choice do I have to record better quality HD movie via webcam?
Thanks!
bye
Zen5656

Logitech webcams work just fine on the Mac, though some of the included "special effects" software is Windows-only. We have two in operation at our house and they were completely "plug and play" for Skype, Photobooth and iChat programs.
See a recent review of the C910 at the iLounge website (www.ilounge.com) earlier this week. They were impressed by the video quality.

Video Tutorials for java beginners

Hi there! My name is Donato and I'm developing some video tutorials addressed to those people who would like to learn a bit of Java but don't feel like reading endless books.
They will cover easy topics and will show everything step by step.
I'd like to know if someone is interested in supporting and helping me. Here's an example of the first of this flash tutorials:
http://scorpio2002.altervista.org/Java/java_1.zip
What do you think?
Ciao,
Donato
Italy

you learn to do it by writing code.I don't remember having stated that you learn a
language in a way other than writing code.
I said in the video that the only way to learn a
programming language is to write a lot of code...
You don't learn to program by watching videos; At this rate, one could say "You don't learn to
program by reading books" :-)
A video is just a different way of getting started.
Some people are just scared by programming and need a
soft way to get involved.
Serious people will be reading those endlessbooks
After you got involved, you'll get thousands of books
and you'll go into the "guts" of the language.
Personally I like books... but I don't see why - if
you get started with some videos and then, if you're
still interested, you pass to books - you're not
serious. Can you just explain me what the difference
is?
The "endless" books are usually about advancedtopics, not the introductory stuff that a video
covers.
You're right. :D And I don't remember saying
something different.
Sorry, I don't think it's a great idea.I thank you anyway. I posted this topic just to see
if there was someone interested. :-)
And these videos are not meant for experienced
developers like you. This video are to be made BY
experienced developers like you... :D Maybe there has
been a missunderstanding, sorry, but my English is
not that well... :(So what do you care what we think? Make them, market them, and let the marketplace decide how good your idea is. If they sell, you're right. Your balance sheet will be the best scorecard there is.
