installed ver 2.2986 .  I now have a list of camera resolutions uo to  640 x 480.  I can now do a "create 3d " then go back and click the "video sampling on" and the web cam comes back on in live video. However the cam is live, but the program is in a loop and all I get is a "dong" sound no matter what key I hit, including the "X" exit button (upper right).  Close, but no cigar yet.

I gave it the 3 fingered salute and restarted Gearotic and now everything is working as expected. I can go back and forth between "created 3d" and "video sampling on".  No crashes.  Video cam comes back each time live.

All the resolutions are back, only one copy of each.  Iterations are seriously fast at 320x240.

Here's a random old bald guy who wandered through and volunteered.

I've never had snapshot work, all I get are all white blank images.  I have to do screen captures and crop them in mspaint.  Latest video drivers with a Radeon HD 2400.

I hate to be the one to point it out, but have you noticed that we bald guys all seem to look alike in Stereo Photometrics?

    True, but age has its priveledges..

Sounds like its all starting to work alright. Ill add some more safeties over time, make sure you stop a 3d creation before restarting video..
The system will try to stop you from doing it, but the stop button taks a few seconds at times to stop the wroker thread that does the
pull out of the 3d image.

I just installed 2.2986 and now while it does show my logitrol 9000 it doesn't show any of the resolutions like it used to. It then hangs up and I have to restart GT.

Well, the problem appears to be the video format. I wrotem it for RGB, but it seems some have only YUY2 or better. So
version 2.2986 is completely changed to YUY2 format. All my camera work with this, Im hoping it solves all the issues
as I think YUY2 is at this point pretty standard.

Let me know how it goes..

Thx

Are you sure that we don't just all use the same volunteer subject?

I know I'm a lot younger and better looking than the guy in my example, plus there's the antler thing.

Dan:

Sorry for that. OK, it seems that as much as I hate to , Ill have to run both.

Tommorrow Ill put out a version that will do RGB or YUY2 , hopefully, those 2 will do, in the
last week Ive learned way more than I wanted to about the windows COM Video interface.
I think I have it down, tomorrows version should show all your resolutions..

Hi All:

  Version 2.2987 is online with both RGB, and YUY2 video types. I also found what Im pretty sure was the issue people
were having. This should now work with the majority of cameras I think.. Ive noticed most have both, or at least 1 o these formats.

Thx

  installed 2.2987.  Everything ran as before.  But again after the first install and run, selected lower resolution, then create 3d, then returned to selected max value then "video sampling on", camera is live, all keys are dead.  3 fingered salute, reran Gearotic and all preforms normally, I can go back and forth as much as I want, no more keyboard lockup.
  The only difference I noted is the resolution values now display the "YUY2" to the right of each resolution value.
