Webcam application advice

Hi
I should create an application that is rather simple, but I would like a suggestion on how to make it:
I should have a webcam pointing at a visitor (in a museum) and I should have the visitor shown on a big monitor (like he/she is in a mirror), but the image should have a delay of 2 seconds. This should be done to simulate how one sees himself if the mirror is on the moon (2 seconds delay due to light travel).
Of course I should do it in Director (ver 11)
Someone has some ideas?
Thank you very much

I was just checking to see if you were simply looking for something to record video from your camera. If so I would suggest something like FFmpeg. Obviously you're looking for something more than that.
--EDIT--
By the way, your picture from the other thread, if you run it through GIMP's emboss filter, then through greycstoraton, you can get a pretty good picture of yourself...

All 61 drivers on my computer are up todate.
Camera version on my lapyop is V2.0.0.19.
Can any one help me to get the camera back to work?
thnx

Hi
Did you try to reinstall the webcam application?
Do that! Firstly uninstall the webcam software. Reboot the notebook and install the webcam software again.
You dont know where to find this software?
Well, you can find this package either on Toshiba European driver page or on the Toshiba Australian page.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/
Both pages should provide the same webcam software.
I think new installation shoudl help you to sortout this issue.

Satellite C665 - Win 7 - Webcam application - "Record Video Failed"

Toshiba C665 - If that matters.
Windows 7
I have a problem whenever I try to use the recording function on the program "Web Camera Application".
The blue camera light on my laptop turns off, the program goes black and a message box reads "Record Video Failed". If I press ok it returns to the original screen where I can see myself.
I do not get this problem using the Photo function.

Hi
Did you try to reinstall this application to check if this would solve the video recording problem?
Do that!
The webcam software can be found on the Toshiba EU driver page.

Webcam Application

I'm currently developing an application but am running into
some troubles. I hope you guys can help me.
What I'd like to do is a webcam game, that's how it should
work:
- a master movie is placed on the server
- the first person opening the swf can see the master movie,
then he's asked to reproduce what he saw with his webcam
- the second person comes and sees the last recorded movie
and then again has to reproduce what he saw, when he finishes he
will se the master movie, to compare.
- and so on
now recording and playing all works fine, more or less, but
how can I find out how many movies are there already? I thought
about saving an xml with php on a simple webserver, but there has
to be an easier way, a solution I can solve with FMS to read out
the data in the folder.
Thanks in advance.

trace(fileList);
for (a=0; a<fileObject.length; a++) {
trace("File found "+fileList[a].name);
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.1.42/sample_room");
I think I'm doing something wrong here...
Where do I have to place this?
Thanks!
The code goes in your server side actionscript, not on the
client side. So, you'll need a client function and a server
function... something like this:
On ther server side:
Client.prototype.getStreamList = function(){
fileObject = new File("streams/_definst_");
fileList = fileObject.list();
returnArray = new Array();
for (a=0; a<fileObject.length; a++){
returnArray.push(fileList[a].name);
return ReturnArray;
On the client side:
function getStreamList(){
client_nc.call("getStreamList", onGetStreamList);
function onGetStreamList(data){
for (a=0; a<data.length; a++){
trace(data[a]);
So, what's happening here is that the client calls the server
function, and the server returns the results to the client as an
array of file names.
As Fguru mentioned, you could use a SharedObject, but then
you'd be eating up extra RAM when you don't need to.

What language to write a simple webcam application

Hey all,
I need to write a simple application that will allow me to record video and audio from the computers webcam and mic. I need to be able to upload this to a server with a decent api for this sort of thing. I know webcams work in linux because of Ekiga (i think?) ,skype and etc.. working with it. But what language for linux would give me access to this hardware in a linux environment.
I have some ruby and python experience, and am not opposed to learning a new language to do this. I would like it to be cross platform or easily portable.
any suggestions?
thanks

This, i did not know. Thanks very much.
I do need to wrap this in a simple GUI.
I would ideally like it to just have a record and upload button. Very simple. Just wondering the best way to pull this off.
Thanks again, will look at some of the CLI parameters with vlc

Database timetable/schedule application advice?

Hi. Looking for a bit of advice.
I have been asked to create a database/web application for a
golf club that
will allow them to display draw times for specific
competitions.
Here is an example:
The competition is 3-ball (3 golfers tee off together), and
the tee-off
times are, initially, a 7 minute interval, then 8 minutes,
then 7 again, 8
etc.
So, on paper, it looks something like this:
7:00am 1 Dave Smith
2 Paul Reed
3 Michael Jones
7:07am 4 Peter Wright
5 Roberto McGuffy
6 Carlos McGhee
7:15am 7 etc
8 etc
I need to allow the client to be able to add a new
competition, enter
golfers in vacant time slots, edit golfers who want to change
their time
slot.
The problem I'm having is in the 7 and 8 minute alternating
intervals and
also how to tie the numerical playing order in with those
intervals.
Here are my thoughts on the competition database table:
competitionID
competitiontitle
competitiondate
competitiontype (3 or 4 ball - numerical 3 or 4)
1stinterval (7 minutes - numerical 7)
2ndinterval (8 minutes - numerical 8)
1stteeoff (time - 7:00am)
lastteeoff (time - 5pm)
And the golfers table
golferID
competitionID
golfername
runningordernumber (numerical)
Another problem is that I need to display, on the site, the
complete
timetable for each competition, with all available time slots
so that
golfers can check the site and see what times they can
choose.
Any advice on a solution to this would be greatly
appreciated, thanks.
Regards
nathon.

Its a case of horses for courses. Both programs can play with
your proposed web page.
If you have both programs then use whichever is most
familiar. I would use Dreamweaver because I don't have Coldfusion.
Depending on your experience, both can have a steep learning curve.

Charting within Web-PL/SQL Application - advice required please

Currently trying to enhance our Designer generated Web-PL/SQL application by including charting.
There is no provision to do this within Designer so are exploring other solutions, specifically using a server side servlet to render a chart as a gif, returning this to the client HTML page.
Has anyone got any recommendations on what to use to do this?
We've tried with limited success calling the Portal servlet (called chart) due to lack of documentation and relience on certain Portal procedures. We're currently experimenting with Oracle Chartbuilder, which looks promising, but would really like to know what the recommended or favorite solution is!
Any feedback appreciated!

Right now, I am displaying a table in the web by selecting all the records from a particular table.
This is how I do it.Not a great way to display a report. This is not re-usable code. Difficult to maintain. Difficult to add or change the presentation of data.
The proper way to do it, will be to use a DBMS_SQL cursor. After the cursor is opened, you use the describe function on the cursor that returns the number of columns in the cursor, the names of the columns, and their data types.
This data is then used to fetch a column value from the cursor, and render it (as per its data type). This can easily be extended to make use of reporting templates and defaults and even style sheets to make rendering easy and flexible.
DBMS_SQL is detailed in the [Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#BABEDAHF] guide.
Should I include a search engine? or how should I go about it? Is there a way to break the table into smaller parts using the dealer id?Why not use APEX? The above method that I've described is what is employed by APEX. So instead of writing that yourself, having to deal with dynamic variable binding, pagination, web state and security and so on.. APEX does all of this, and more, for you.

Re: Satellite L500-19X - Webcam application start with Windows

I have lost my Web Camera Application from off the desktop.
I can bring it back by going to the Web Camera Application / Program files(86) / Toshiba/ Web Camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it will not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run ticked,
My laptop is the Satellite L500-19X, Windows 7
Thanks for any help.

Thanks to all the replies I have now got the Web Camera Application working properly.
Dr.Lamp the download link you gave me has enabled the Web Camera Application.
The problem I had with installing the driver ie Windows Script Host error, not allowing me to install the driver, I overcame by not allowing the zip file to extract and install. What I did was create a new folder on the desk top, and instructed the zip to extract but not install the contents into the new folder. When all the files had been extracted to the new folder, I opened the folder and clicked on the .exe file. To my amazement and joy, the software ran and first removed the existing software, I rebooted and clicked again on the .exe and the software installed. I now have the web camera application on my desktop and it re-appears after a re-boot.

I downloaded the 'driver' from this website and isntalled it... nothing really happened. cant even use the webcam on MSN. at one point it did, but the video was very slow-motion like.

1and1 Blog Application Advice.

I am not a coder and I just got some hosting space on 1and1's servers. I am using Dreamweaver to upload my site for the first time and here's my question.
I want to have one of the pages in my site be updated with a daily article and for all old articles to be archived where users can peruse them and comment on them. 1 and 1 comes with a blog application that I can use for free (I believe), but I know little about it. Do you guys know of a blog app that I can paste into Dreamweaver (I remind you that I'm not a coder) that will meet my previously mentioned needs and it's ease of use would put your aunt or uncle's mind at peace ? Does this exist ? Is it free ? Do you have an example of it at work on a site that I can check out ?
Thank You
