Kinda Cool - VLC media player & A1
I often use the VLC media player for a variety of stuff. However, I just recently attached my A1 and used the VLC media player to stream the data from the camera onto my monitor. It's kinda cool to check out the stats, presets etc. using this method.

Interesting. Was this Mac or PC and was there a lot of latency?

VLC Player
It was a PC. Yes there was latency, a fair bit.

I think this may be a PC only feature. I have VLC 0.8.6a. Does anyone know if this VLC feature works with the OSX version? If so, how would I set it up?

I think I just answered my own question. It uses DirectShow for this thus video acquisition is not an OSX feature.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html Still searching for the "free" HDV solution for monitoring in OSX. |

I'm fairly sure it also works in Linux using a firewire 'device' to stream from. No idea about OSX though. The latency is quite long - it is for HDV anyway.
I'm writing a plugin for it to be a waveform monitor too, I have it working on my own system, but can't seem to get it to build for general release - building VLC is a pain... Oh well, may find the time one day. |
