Re: Using Quicktime to record sounds in Livecode
Hi All, After I installed Trevor's DLL named Enhanced Quicktime and opened one of his stack examples... Recording sound using Quicktime is working fine in this computer. Really strange, to say the least. Maybe, just maybe... Trevor's DLL activated something in Quicktime 7.7.1 that allowed to access it's sound recording capabilities. Later, today I will uninstall Quicktime and try again the same steps, until I discover a pattern in the problem.

Hi All, Recently, I have been struggling in Windows XP with sound recording in LiveCode using QuickTime 7.7.1 When I start recording, I see that hard disk is writing but when I click the button Stop recording, there is no file written.

Re: Using Quicktime to record sounds in Livecode
Come to think of things.. I will re-ask a question I posed about 3 or 4 years ago! Why has Livecode not, yet, developed an in-built sound recording facility that is truly cross-platform and does not depend on o0ther software being present on the end-user's machine? And, the answer is (I'm a great one for answering my own questions): Sound recording in Livecode is so low down the RunRev people's list of priorities it has dropped off the bottom; hence the Quicktime thing which has been there since very nearly the beginning. So. the probable answer to my question at the top is one of those that RunRev seem to be rather good at; an incredibly loud silence. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Hi Richmond, Richmond Mathewson-2 wrote [snip] Sound recording in Livecode is so low down the RunRev people's list of priorities it has dropped off the bottom; hence the Quicktime thing which has been there since very nearly the beginning. I will use the Enhanced QuickTime external of Trevor Devore and report back. Anyway, Apple itself is abandoning QuickTime so VLC is a viable cross platform option: http://www.videolan.org/press/lgpl.html This change of license was an initiative started by some of VLC's main developers and will be a change from the current license (GPLv2 or later) to the LGPLv2.1 or later license. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html This change was motivated to match the evolution of the video industry and to spread the VLC engine as a multi-platform open-source multimedia engine and library. The VideoLAN non-profit organisation and the École Centrale Paris approve this initiative. Runrev have spend wisely their resources. The popularity of iOS and Android platforms shows this. Clearly, Multimedia is not the main interest of developers in this platform and I understand this perfectly. Hopefully this would change in a near future. When you test these scripts in your setup, please report your results and if possible, post a working example stack. :-) Have a nice weekend!

Re: Using Quicktime to record sounds in Livecode
Hi All, Finally, recording sounds is working fine in Windows using mci, but I don't know if mci recording is available anymore in Windows 7 or 8. Please, answer to this message if you could test this Sound Recorder stack in these Windows versions. I am using the scripts of the stack MCI recorder published by Tom McCarthy. Although I could not find online this stack, you could test a similar script published in this message: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2005-March/054343.html Thanks in advance for your help to test this stack, Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Using-Quicktime-to-record-sounds-in-Livecode-tp4496711p4500665.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
