Hi, all!

The very impressive
http://effectv.sourceforge.net/
works (almost) on ppc.
After changing a bit the Makefile it compiles without any problems,
& it even works with 47 plugins enabled...
The only problem is that the v4l-format "yuyv" isn't used by
effecttv as rgbX & yuvX are supported (these give wrong colors here).
Maybe it can be made to work somehow
(veejay uses f.e. sources from kino to convert yuyv to yuv:
http://veejay.dyne.org/trac.cgi/wiki/Ve ... 3&diff=yes).
I'll keep on fighting with this one, but I'm no coder (yet)...

cheers

Well I'm not sure what can be done with post video FX...

Maybe we could setup an Efika board to make a funny karaoke system with fun video FX ?

Frostwork

That is really cool software! If you could get it working on peg that would be cool. I had kino running and the colors and display looked great (though video to slow for productive usage) A guy here claims he did some mods and had it running full speed, using Altivec engine.

Keep on this one! (and some dev please help him)

Frostwork: i Posted on the forum of Effect tv and maybe we can get some help from those guys there.

ps.. This Would make an Excellent Efika project, but not for "karaoke" but for Live Dj shows, art projects and the like. A box for say $299 where you just plug in video and ouput the fx video would be a nice coup!

Hi!
IF I get it working (still no coder ) I'll include it in my
main project enlightenmedia (monster in eary stages )

cheers

If you manage to get it working can you please make a package of it or something?? What distro are you compiling it on?

magnetic

In case it works correctly, I can make packages of course!
I tried on gentoo & debian atm.
There's also an older debian ppc-package available in the debian-pool
but this has the same issues...

cheers

Frostwork

Cool. Have you tried to contact the author of the program about these issues???

magnetic

No, not yet! I'm very busy with other stuff atm...
I think if effectv would support v4l2 it would simply work without
any modifications, but it's just a quick guess...

If its not using Video 4 linux then what is it using for a video driver? btt8x stuff? If you'd like I can put together an email to the dev. He seems like a cool video hacker type

magnetic

Hi!
It uses v4l but only v4l(1) & not the new v4l2.
bttv is only the driver for most budget-tv-cards...
Would be cool if you can contact the author

cheers

Ok. I joined the mailing list and will inquire there in addition to the developer himself. Will you please keep trying things and if get in touch with the guy can I give him your info??

magnetic

Hi, magnetic!

Thanks for helping!
I'll keep on trying & feel free to give him my info in case i find out
s.th useful ...
frostwork

Edit:

Great!
The author Kentaro Fukuchi seems to be interested:

Yay

I'm glad the post worked! This guy seems really cool, I can relate to him as he is a video artist. I think between him and the aother of Veejay they will probably come up with a solution/fix for the yuvn prob...



magnetic

Frostwork
check the thread i posted again. Also, did you try compiling Veejay?

Hi!
Yes,I already compiled veejay some weeks ago.
Will update it to latest version for enlightenmedia...

Great! Did it straight compile? Have you tested it and can you make Debian package of it please? Thanks and sorry for all the questions, just excited.
