Flash Player 8 with DV cameras and Osprey cards
|
|
| David Simmons 2005-07-22, 5:45 pm |
| Hi Everyone -
If you have the new beta Flash 8 player installed and a DV/Firewire
camera or Osprey capture card, please test them. The bugs with Flash 7
should be fixed.
The DV camera should now appear as a regular video input device.
Those with Osprey capture cards should be able to upgrade to Viewcast's
most recent drivers and have it work correctly.
Please let me know if you still see any problems with these devices.
Thanks,
- Dave Simmons

| Indeed Dave, I tested my DV cam (winx xp sp2) and it
works right at native resolution (720x576) but the browser
crashs when I set a different resolution. This happen with both
flash 7 swf and flash 8 swf. With the old Flash player 7
the movie didn't "get" the camera in resolution different
from 720x576 but didn't crash.

| Hi Dave,
I have tested a sony dv cam and a canon zr85 dv cam, none will work with
flash player 8.0, the camera is shown in camera matrix but will not play ...
,this is the same problem I reported when i went to Sp2 on windowsxp.
I',m now Running windowsxp 64 bit but do not think this has anthing to do
with it....

| I tested with WinXP sp2 and FP 8,0,0,446.
The DV cam did show as a valid video source but unfortunately no video was
visible inside Flash.
To rule out other errors I made sure that:
1. No other apps were accessing the camera
2. The DV source was visible inside Windows media encoder (it was and I
captured from it)
3. Flash could access a USB web cam (it could).
4. I tried before and after a reboot after installing fp8 - same result both
times.

| Thanks to everyone who's been testing DV cameras and other devices with
Flash 8.
=20
If you find a problem (and there have been several reported to the list)
please report your bugs to the Flash 8 team via the web page:
=20
http://www.macromedia.com/bin/fp8betafeedback.cgi?
=20
I realize it's an extra hassle to submit the form, but it will get
attention if a customer has reported these problems. (It gets even more
attention if multiple customers report the problem). =20
=20
I will also forward your emails to some people in Flash 8 QA, but
getting the virtual paperwork done is an important step for the team to
identify and track the issue.
=20
Thanks for the help on this, and please keep checking out Flash 8.

| This is a rebuttal to my previous post.
FP8 is accessing my DV cam nicely, at a variety of sizes and fps. My initial
mistake was that the public beta did not install onto Firefox and I (in my
eagerness) only tested with that. The install still seems pear-shaped: it
would report Flash Player 8,0.. when I played a file locally and 7.0.. When
I played the same file off a web server. None-the-less, those problems
masked the DV acquisition capabilities. If you still cannot capture form
your DV cam via firewire, then
1. Make sure you are really using Fp8 to run the app (print out getversion()
just to make sure)
2. Make sure you switch on your camera BEFORE launching the web page which
contains the SWF that wants access.
Kudus to Macromedia for getting it to work with the new release.
My Details: (in case success is still system dependent).
Camera: Sony DCRTRV8.
Connection: firewire
OS: WinXP sp2
Browser IE 6.029
FP: 8,0,0,434
Cheers
Will
