Guido van Rossumdb96c5a1992-09-03 17:01:36 +00003These are more-or-less literal translations of the C programs from the
Guido van Rossum44c1f691992-09-03 17:28:48 +00004Indigo Video Programming Guide, by Sjoerd Mullender, with some changes
5by Guido.

7Note that none of the example programs save any data to a file,
8although this would be easy to do (e.g. individual grabbed frames
9could be written as SGI image files using the imgfile module).

11We have written a Python program to record live video to file (within
12the limits of the Indigo video board), and a suite of programs to
13manipulate and display such files. At the moment we don't distribute
14these programs, since the file format is, eh..., weird, to say the
15least. However, if you are really interested we can mail you the
16source.

18Also note that we haven't tried using video *output* yet.
