I am attempting to run ARToolkit on OS X version 10.3.8 using the XCode developer tools. I compile ARToolkit and attempt to run collideTest.

This is what happens in the console:

Opening sequence grabber 1 of 1.

Then this his windows opens:

Whatever I try, I can not get the video feed from the DVcam to appear in the blue window.

Then I click OK

and then the console shows me:

Opening sequence grabber 1 of 1.
Video cType is dvc , size is 720x480.
Image size (x,y) = (720,480)
Camera parameter load error !!

collideTest has exited with status 0.

I am using an NTSC JVC ZR10 DVcam and a 1.25 Aluminum Powerbook.

Is there something I have to config to get it to wirk with this camera? I assumed that any FireWire DVcam (not webcam) would work...

When are we going to see the updated manuals and readme files? They always seem to be "just around the corner." If there is anything I can do to help in this regard please let me know.

I would think that once you got the runtime working directory correctly specified this should work.

See post http://www.hitlabnz.org/forum/showpost.php?p=49&postcount=4 for how to do this, then let us know how you got on.

Changed the directory. now I get this:

Opening sequence grabber 1 of 1.
Video cType is dvc , size is 720x480.
Image size (x,y) = (720,480)
