Hi,
I'm thinking of using Python for capturing and showing live webcam
stream simultaneously between two computers via local area network.
Operating system is Windows. I'm going to begin with VideoCapture
extension, no ideas about other implementation yet. Do you have any
suggestions on how short delay I should hope to achieve in showing the
video? This would be part of a psychological experiment, so I would
need to deliver the video stream with a reasonable delay (say, below
100ms).
I would first check if video capture extension works anyway.
I couldn't get it working, ...
... it seems to start ok
... but moving the captured window,
... or sometimes even just moving the mouse hangs the program :-(
So I'm still looking for a good / open source workiing video capture in
Python.
I can make a good working capture in delphi,
make a DLL or ActiveX from that and use it in Python,
but I'm not allowed to ditribute these.
cheers,
Stef
