Yeah thats what I suspected... It's quite an insane move to drop such feature, if you ask me!

I found out that there is no way access to such dialog using the cocoa QtKit API either... Which is a shame, I guess it will come with time.... Currently, you have to go back to SequenceGrabber (which is quite ugly if you ask me) to do that....

I wanted to stay as much as possible inside QC for that particular thing I am working on, but maybe I'll have to continiously pass the image to QC from cocoa.

What I want to avoid is doing unnecessary work... Or doing something that will break with the next OS update. I'm happy about Apple renewing API's, but I'm not happy if that means I have to do double- work.

Anyone knows if QTKit will have acces to device settings in the future (Hopefully both programatically OR through a renewed standard user dialog like the old one )? Maybe I should ask in the QuickTime list...

That would avoid me many many headaches!

Yep that lets me choose which device I want to use... But I want to access the quicktime typical dialog where you can specify settings like exposure, framerate, color balance, etc. for that device...


Ahh, I remember. That was a Tiger-only thing. In Leopard, they switched to using QTKit, and didn't add those options in it seems. If you're looking for a way to programatically change those settings, I'm assuming you're using QC inside an application you're writing? If so, why not use QTKit yourself to control those settings, and feed the video in through a published input? Modifying the patch's video device parameters isn't supported, so you'd have to resort to some nasty hacks to get that working.
