I like Java as language and have over the Years also lost touch with C and the syntax and crypticysm So I want to use java and pure Object Oriented Programming and I can also consider to distribute the objects around more than one CPU to do research on Fractal Image Compression/Improvement of a moving Camera Scan But for the initial and more immediate challenge I would just be happy to get a Stream Source or Memory Raster Location and could work with a shot every x seconds Yes I noticed there were some folks form Switzerland that said they were working on some Java V4L Reader too When It comes to programming altogether I can certainly not be counted as the Number One Wizard so it is a juicy challenge to integrate between C and Java - But I remember when Browsing the Java Native Interface tutorial it was described as fairly easy... In which source file or for what structure should I look to get access to a frame of image data ? thanks Tobias ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Cox" <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 14:41 Subject: Re: [V4L] Java interface to V4L ? > > I don't know why would you want to implement v4l in Java.
