[gentoo-user] Video Overlay Software API

2007-12-03 Thread Jonathan R. Haws

All,

This may not be the right place for this question, if so please direct me.

I am looking for a software API that I can use to develop a UI that will 
display an analog video stream on the screen with overlaid controls 
(buttons, indicators, etc.).  I have looked into a few options, but 
haven't found a satisfactory solution.  The latency for the video 
display must be less than 1/4 second to meet the design requirements, so 
something that can be programmed in separate threads (a video thread and 
an overlay thread) may be the best option.  If the indicators lag 
slightly, that is okay, as long as the video feed doesn't.


If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or solutions, that would be 
great.  Thanks for the help!

Re: [gentoo-user] grub hell

Why not go Seamless with a VM?  That works great for me.   That way you 
can forget about the dual boot.  Just set the VM to run on startup and 
you can access any Windows program from within Gentoo.  Works great, 
speed is just as fast as when booting to XP.

Yes the how to is for ubuntu, but its the same across all platforms.  
The only difference really is setting up the bridge.  If you do it, make 
sure you set permissions correctly on the folder containing the 
seamlessshell.exe program (i gave everyone full control).

I use this cd image and it works like a treat. 




Not for me. Same problem: grub can get the HDs
straight. I quit. 


Not a great biggee; I only use XP for one proprietary
program that has yet to be linux-fied. I'll just tell
the BIOS to boot from that drive whenever I have to
use it again, which is rarely.
