Java Video for Windows
A video capture library for Windows by Jason
von Nieda.
Description
This page is for a video capture library I have
been writing up over the last
few weeks. It allows you to capture frames from
any video capture device
supported in Windows and pull the data into your
Java programs.
If you download and try it out, please
let me know what kind of card
or camera you are using and if it works. If it
doesn’t please let me know
if there are any interesting messages.
Documentation
A JavaDoc documentation file is included in the
zip file. It is called
CaptureDevice.html and should tell you all you
need to know to get
started.
Changes
Version 0.0.1 – first release, I thought
it would support any camera, but
it didn’t.
Version 0.0.2 – This release supports
custom and installed codecs,
which was something I didn’t even know about
when I wrote 0.0.1. Now
it should be able to read data from about anything,
although the
code is a big more buggy than the last because
I am still learning the
codec API. Should work tho.
Download
You can download the current version of this
library here. As with all
of my software, this is Open Source and is licensed
to you under a
FreeBSD type of license. This gives you plenty
of rights to the code and
all should be well. The actual license is found
in the headers of all the
source code, so look there if you are interested.
