Developing a video recorder

Hi,
I'm a newbie developing for PocketPC. Can anyone point me how to start developing a video recorder using the built-in camera on a XDA-III? I also need to have access to individual frames to perform some image interpretation such as motion detection. Any help is usefull. I use Visual Studio 2003
Thank you,
Miguel

the easy way would be to get some code as to how it's don on pc because
how you access frames from the streams are the same if you use a pda or pc
the files are still mp4 or avi or ...... what you set them to
if you grab and then work with the ripped file
if you want to do it real time you face 2 issues
1 the camera API is not public from HTC
2 the cpu's in pda's even though they are fast Mhz are much much slower then even pc cpu's of the same speed so real time checking the stream could be impossible

Hi Rudegar,
Thanks for the reply! On the PC i usually use a wrap library for DirectShow i don't think it's available for the PocketPC. Do you know where i can get the camera API?

did a search in this foruk for camera api and here are some hits i got

Which version TCPMP for wizard

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which version tcpmp i install on the wizard please. There is the normal tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe and there is the tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe version.
thanks

Wizard is a pda. Use tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe.

thanks,
loaded it and was not impressed with the perfomance! From the settings page, general. heres what it displays:
language: english
platform: pocket pc
OS Version: 5.01
OEM info: HTC
Processor: Arm926E
Clock speed: 170Mhz
!!!!! what happened to the 200mhz OMAP processor? I played a mpg video at avg speed 52.9%
vid frames 934
frame rate: 13.18
361kbit/s (orig 682kbit/s)
i only have spb gprs monitor installed and dont see why the performance is so slow!

tcpmp
yeah i get 170MHz too. and video playback is okay, but not very fast at all.
i was hoping to have better video playback from TCPMP.
Windows Media Player is always jerky on my kjam when streaming from a website no matter what the quality of the video.

Unfortuantly TCMP doesn't appear to make use of the 2D accelleration hardware on the Wizards OMAP cpu. Apparntly Ti are a little bit shy when it comes to providing the information nessecery for the TCMP developers need to impliment support. An alternative would be a display driver for the wizard that impliemented direct-X (TCMP can make use of direcet X acceleration I belvie) but i don't imagine this happening any time soon!

I've been through all this.....take a look at this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33030&highlight=

Yeah, so, it'll do ok if you play content encoded at QVGA or lower. But I have loads of 700 mb Div-x's that are mostly almost VGA. These play back fine on my Axim X50v but not on the Wizard. Obviosuly the wizard is much slower but I can't help bu think that leveraging the 2D accell hardware would help!

Sorry for the newbie question but can someone explain the differences on an exe install and a cab install?
And, how to do a cab install step by step.
thanks,

Mogwai - exe typically run on your desktop pc and install over activesync to your ppc. cabs typically are copied ot your ppc and run on it directly (launched using the file browser).
You might read up a bit on how to start new topics in forums as well - what you're doing is posting 'off topic'

The Mobile Grab client in the youtube video is launching TCPMP in full screen.

I already know that, as said iam not searching for TCPMP. The app iam searching for is The Mobile Grab client!

so it's an application which selects the correct url and opens it up on TCPMP.
where do we find it ?

anyone interesed ?

i know this post will be deleted & i will most likely be called an idiot but it your trying to broadcast your television from home and tune it on on your mobile device....then you can use www.slingbox.com

nobody will call you idiot, but it is not a good way to do it.
if we have capability of directly connecting and streaming why put another node ?

so nobody has this little piece of software ?

Why buy a slingbox when the Dreambox seems to be capable of doing it itself? Any way, long time has passed and my quesion still is, does any one know how to get this software?

yep. still waiting...

Closest thing i could find...

From what i've seen with this app, it does what you want it to do.
Since it's opensource and written in PHP, i think it can be modified to contain pre-selected settings just for PDA viewing.
Btw, i think you can forget about just a single program without a middleman doing the transcoding, since the Dreambox is incapable of transcoding its stream.
What the Youtube video could be is a website showing links to all the channels, and by clicking on them it launches TCPMP with the stream.

moullas,
you are wrong. why ? because Dreambox uses mpeg2 streaming which is the easisest codec to decode for any client type. That's why a middleman is not required.
And if we had the VLC player for ppc, we could watch directly Dreambox channels.

Here is the VLC player for PPC
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1545

unfortunately it does not run on Hermes (as far as I remember)
that's why I tried to compile it from source a while ago but I couldn't succeed.
if it runs well on anyone's wm6 device , please let us know.

What do you want VLC to do that TCPMP or CorePlayer cannot?

Well that restreamer seems to be okay, but its not as simple as that application that he uses. Maby i should try it... The problem for me isnt that it need to be compressed true another computer but that i need the simplicity from the application, cklick and play!
