[Capture] - How should it work ? (Page 2 of 4)

Where is the capture option?

Because of the start/stop nature of many sports (American Football) one needs a capture routine that automatically creates a new file every time the recording is stopped.  Each new file should be named such that an alphabetical sort will keep them in the order recorded.  There is a program out there that does this well.  Its called ScenalyzerLive.  It costs about $35.  It is a very nice product for capturing and/or splitting up sports videos (or other videos)  another free capture product is WinDV. Unfortunately it does not stop recording to disk when the record button is off.  But it does have source code is someone wanted to modify it.

Once I get Kinovea working (playing saved video) I will certainly test this out.

Hi Joan,

I don't know what I did, but now is de the place from the image with capturing en playback mode the same.
Futher I have testing the following issue:
- In the platform Windows Vista the new version from Kinovia "hangs itself" when wou select the capture screen (with XP its works oke).
- When you selected 2 capturescreens, recorded en switched back to 2 playback screens; the last 2 aren't displayed. You have to restarted Kinovea.
- Is it possible to make a record button that captured both screens at the same time?

With regards,

Joop

I get this message when trying to run capture on windows 7

Any suggestions?

Hello all,

I tried the capture feature in live. (I'm a golf teacher)

Here is a report on the bugs I think I saw

note: I'm using 0.8.9 and win 7.

1:  When I wanted to name the video file I absolutley had to highlight the numbers already in, then right click to hit delete then I could write down my file name.
I couldn't simply highlight and write the text I want..
(this bug isn't here when I use vista).

2: After capturing a video in a specified folder the explorer doesn't show it, to see it you have to go in another folder then go back in the previous one to see the just recorded video.(the prog doesn't refresh?)

I think I'm forgetting a bug but I can't remember...

Now some things I would like to see in the future:

A good thing in Dartfish is to be able to use a remote control.

Would it be possible for Kinovea to support a remote, at least for recording a video away from the keyboard.?

I recieved today a casio exilim fh100 (high speed camera), I haven't been able to use the capture feature with it?
Are you aware of a way to use it? by forcing the directshow?

Thx for the great program again

Bye

I don't think these cameras can do direct streaming can they ? Do they have a "webcam" mode ?

If you find a way (any way) to display on the PC screen what the camera is currently imaging, please share program/method used. (I honestly don't know if it's feasible or not).
Thanks

Hi,
It's sounds like an interesting use case (and challenging )  However I thinks it's important to make sure the capture screen is robust enough and well functioning in its current implementation before attempting other sources.
(Maybe check LongoMatch software, he just added capture too during the summer. He is using a somewhat more versatile library for capture, maybe it already does network sources… And it is more tailored towards team sports too)
