As I wrote in the other message, the btest machine's camera works, but it's really slow right now even at 320x240 (the camera actually supports 640x480). We'll have to optimize it significantly to be usable. We should allocate a 16 bit form and let the plugin read the camera data right into the form bits. Then only do an in-place palette conversion (YUYV8888 to 2xRGB555). This hopefully will be a lot faster than the current version, which first converts to a 24 bpp bitmap and then to a 32 bpp form using float math for contrast/ brightness adjustment which is then drawn on the 16 bpp display. Anybody up to implement this?
We maybe also could learn from the camera demo activity. AFAIK, it streams directly into the framebuffer and uses the Geode's video overlay/scaling/color conversion units. It achieves full-screen full- speed video.
As an aside, the VideoMorph's controls do not work for me, I can not change the resolution in the dialog.
