Thought I should introduce myself. I'm Jay aka digitalhillbilly. I'm a geek livin in one of the last frontier towns in Canada - Cumberland, BC. I've been playing with computer A/V for the last 15 years at a few artist run centres in Vancouver doing tech for live performance art, music and installations. Everything was based on commercial apps and as time passed restrictions in use as well as getting tired of being just a user have peaked my interest in FOSS for the last couple years. I'm not a great programmer but am learning - being said, I'm happy to help out in whatever small ways I can. I'll be providing video projections for an outdoor music festival here in mid August ( http://www.cumberlandvillageworks.com/ festival/ ) and want to do something a little cooler than just a bunch of video clips. I found quite a few apps over the last few weeks and Gephex stands out. Been playing with it now for a couple weeks on my XP machine and it's the way I want to go. Bought a nice new C2D to run the show and loaded Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu because I'm not the only person that will be using it and it's the least geeky of all linux flavours. The event has quite a mix of music so I'm building up graphs with psychedelic ravey imagery, Australian aboriginal art styles, mandalas, Indian imagry and artwork as well as nature textures and Canadiana, coal miners and unions and some good 'ol burlesque style imagery. I have about 12 hours to fill. lol! I have a number of issues I'm working through and am making progress but one in particular I'm having trouble with I was hoping someone could give a bit of advice. In XP using a live video feed via 1394 was no problem - the capture source module found the signal no problem. However, it's not so in linux. the module is looking at v4l for the video source but, of course, there is nothing there. I've been going down a few roads (yuv2mpeg, a frei0r screen capture plugin, a couple others) and could use a bit of help on which is the best route.
