Virtual Web Camera with JMF

Hi
I have tried to use virtual web camera with Java Media Framework.
And what I wanted to point out why these are important is:
We can use them as wireless web cameras and use with Java Media Framework
Here we need two softwares
1. softwares available to use our mobile phones as a wireless web cameras. ex- http://www.motvik.com/
2. Softwares which acting as virtual web camera (comes with Windows Driver Model(WDM) driver)
Once we installed both and completed the rest of the configuration. 1st software acting as a wireless web camera and the 2nd software detects the first software as a web camera. The important thing is it acting as a virtual web camera driver. Some of them even provide SDKs.
So as they claim their provides WDM driver and supports all the VFW and DirectShow applications,([here is a one|http://www.e2esoft.cn/vcam/]) they must detect as capturing device by the JMF registry.
But it is not.
Can anyone please put some attention on this? Can any one please put some light?
If I am wrong please correct me.
Thank You

Hi captfoss thanx for answering.
Actually my web camera(real one) is detected by JMF registry as vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) : 0
So as u said if it is not a must to detect the all the cameras I have to find the hardware ID of the virtual web cam driver. It is better to ask it from original developers. Also I am interesting to develop windows virtual web cam driver, So we have full access.
So any body has tried this kind of application?

How to use same web cams with jmf?

Hello, I'm doing a project with netbeans 4.1 and I need to use two webcams,the same model web cams.The problem is that jmf only detects one of this. I read that if you open two jmfStudio you can use two cams but I want do this programming in java.
Somebody have any idea?
Thanks for all

Hello,
Maybe you have already solve your problem...I think you could use something like this:
Vector deviceListVector;
    deviceListVector = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null);
          if (deviceListVector.size() == 0)
               System.out.println("I can't find devices");
               System.exit(0);
          if (deviceListVector == null)
               System.out.println("I can't find devices");
               System.exit(0);
          for ( int x = 0; x < deviceListVector.size(); x++)
               CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) deviceListVector.elementAt(x);
               String deviceInfoText = deviceInfo.getName();
               System.out.println(deviceInfoText);
          }In this way you can see which devices are conected. I don�t know if it will be useful. :)

How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro? I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

Can I record directly into iMovie with a usb web cam instead of iSight?
You can try it, but probably not.
This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion). You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

Which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

ntman,
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/Camera MDN Camera API Guide] and [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5 Web Guide MDN] are both articles to get you started. I am not an expert in this, but there is a developer community on stackoverflow.com that helps specifically with Developing in Firefox. It may require the use of AngularJS. However it is difficult to prevent users from downloading images that are on sites, but again stackoverflow.com would have some great ideas.

How do I use an external web cam with my Mac Pro on Skype?

I am trying to use my MAC Pro with an external web cam (Logitec C615) on Skype. I want to use the external so that I can pan and video a room full of people. Kind of hard to do with the built in cam.
How do I tell the Mac Pro to use the external for Skype and not the built in?

Go to Skype preferences, click on audio/video, and choose your camera from the drop down menu...

Using web cam with a Mac Pro

Hey All... Was hoping to get some pointers on get a web cam working on a mac pro so that I can use jabber to video chat from it. Any special brands that I would look at? Today at the local computer store looked like everything said yes to Windows but nothing mentioned OSX compatibility... Thanks for any posters

I read recently that these USB video class devices now all work with OS X (though perhaps only with 10.4.10 or later) without the need for any software to make them work in iChat and PhotoBooth and apps like that.
Of those cameras it seemed to me that the Microsoft Xbox Live Vision was both the cheapest and best looking so I bought one.
It works perfectly and quite surprisingly doesn't look too bad either (the 'XBOX 360' logo is almost invisible). I was hoping to get a real iSight and was even prepared to pay the $300 they seem to go for these days but at the time I decided to get one I couldn't find any on Ebay or Amazon. I'd recommend the Xbox camera, it's easily good enough.
Having said that, I don't think I've heard of any apps that enable video chat through Jabber with OS X (or any other OS from memory). Which app were you going to use? Please enlighten me...

Problem in inbuilt Web-camera using JMF

Hi,
I am using JavaTM Media Framework 2.1.1e downloaded from below link in my application.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-java-client-419417.html#7372-jmf-2.1.1e-oth-JPR .
Main functionality of my app is to use Web-camera.
My application is working fine on Windows XP and Windows 7 using external Web-Cam device.
However, the same application is giving problem in accessing in-built Webcam on Windows 7.
I tried to access in-built Web-Camera from JMStudio app(of JMF..File->Capture->check 'Use video device'-> Press 'Ok'), however JMStudio itself is not able to access in-built web-camera. Always I am getting the error 'Couldn't initialize the Capture Device!'.
Please note that JMF Registry Editor(JMStudio->Preferences->Capture Device->Detect Capture Devices')is able to detect the inbuilt web-cam device.
Is this the issue in JMF itself or I can resolve the issue from my application also?
Also, when I tried to do online JMF diagnostics, I am getting below error.

Well, I don't know if the JMF Studio works on a 64-bit system, but the base java libraries work just as well as on a 32-bit system. I currently use both Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit version, and I am able to recognize all of my audio input devices.JMF wraps around and makes use of a bunch of native interfaces, all of which are precompiled for 32-bit systems. As such, anything relying upon those 32-bit libraries will not work, and that cuts the functionality down to, essentially, the cross-platform pack stuff.
JMF's sound infastructure is mostly a wrapper around JavaSound, so as long as JavaSound is working on the JRE, you'll be able to utilize the audio functionality.
As for device detection, I know at least some of that is native code. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd almost expect the Windows performance pack to never return any devices on a 64-bit system, but the cross-platform back to return audio devices. This is an assumption, but, that's what I would expect.
In any case, if you're using the Windows performance pack, you'd most likely get better results by switching to the cross-platform pack.

Using Web camera with Yahoo

My granddaughter and her children wants us to get on line with our WEB cameras so that we can talk. She uses Yahoo and sent me an invite to join her group, which I did. Last night we went on line and I could access her on camera, but she could not access me.
After reading everything, and looking at the FAQ it appears that I must take steps to set up a web camera program. I would like to use the in line sight camera that is part of this computer, also a part of the lap top. I have not been able to find the instructions on how to make the camera active for web chatting with the Yahoo program.
Can any one help me out???

Hello Fred,
Judging by the Yahoo! Messenger for Mac page, it doesn't appear that you can talk and use the video at the same time:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/webcam/
"A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself (or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend..."
Instant messaging being the same thing as text typing to each other. If you want to have a true video chat with your granddaughter, you would both be best off using [Skype|www.skype.com].

Using a web cam with an E-MAC

I want to buy a web cam for use on my grand kids e-mac with skype. Is it possible and what type should I buy (they have hi-speed DSL access)
Thanks, Don

Keep in mind that the 10.4.9 OS X update enabled USB webcams to be used with iChat. However, not any webcam will work. It has to be what's known as a "UVC" webcam, which basically stands for "USB Video Class" Basically a standard for streaming video.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listof_USB_video_classdevices
There's a list of webcams that should work on your Mac. Ironically the XBox 360 Camera is one of them.
Personally, I've used the Quickcam Fusion before and the quality as at or possibly above what the iSight offered.

What web cams with built in mics will work with the MAC PRO

I have my MAC PRO conected to my HD TV, not a monitor. I would like, to start using Skpe.

If you do a google search on say, os x web cameras, you would ffind pages like the following:

Mac Webcams That Just Work

Can you please record a video from a web cam with inital setting

Can you please record a video from a web cam that has the
following specs
fps: 20
bitrate: 1000
Size: 500*400
can we configure that in code or is it a webcam specs?

QuickTime Player Pro can't record the screen.
QuickTime X can record the screen (but only all of it and not just a window). It's a part of Snow Leopard.

Home Security Web Cam With Express?

Hi,
While owning three macs, I just now converted from a Linksys G router to the Airport Extreme. I have long wanted to set up a in-home, perhaps motion-sensitive web security camera. It occurs to me that I might get an Aiport Express and plug an ethernet cord from the Express to a camera (my Extreme is in an inappropriate location for a webcab setup). I do know that there are home security cameras that don't require a computer, but I was wondering if there was a better, Mac-based solution that might involve an Express.
Sorry for the naivete about these issues, and thanks for your responses!
Steve

why not just use a wireless cam? we've used two in the past with success. axis m1011-w (currently in use) and panasonic BL-C20A (a bit harder setup with mac). we use ben bird's security spy as the receiving software (running on our home-teater-mini) and cache the data to a remote HD connected as an air-disk to our AEBS. caching the video to a HD internal to the computer that is running SS is more seamless, but in a robbery situation, the computer would be stolen where as the HD/AEBS tucked away in a wiring closet would be ignored... so it least we'd have webcam video of the theft to enjoy at xmas parties and family reunions. the thing about the video feed is that is needs to be running to a machine that doesn't sleep or turn off. to my knowledge there's no mac webcam-setup that doesn't have to pass through the computer.

Using web cam with skype but not receiving image from PC

I've just downloaded skype and asked my son to do the same as we got nowhere with messenger, in the hope to be able to chat to him and see each other. He can see me but I cannot see him and his webcam says "error in trying to connect to ...'. Is this something to do with his webcam or the fact that I am using a Mac?

Check with the folks at Skype.
