Hi all, wanted to test the videoGrabberExample but it returns these errors:

Every help is welcome, btw the compiled app in ./bin/videoGrabberExampleDebug is running like it should.

Ok i’m still trying to figure this out, I thought I had it (sdk to 10.6), but I didn’t
:frowning: Anyway the strange part of this all is, when I press build videoGrabberExample, then xCode freezes and I get scrambled video input, but it builds the app. After the freeze xCode asks me to restore the windows, and then the app is working. Can someone confirm that this is wrong behavior, or can someone tell me this is actually normal :s or can someone with iSight, xcode4, osx 10.7.4 tell me that his/her example is working like a charm? Thanks in advance.

when it crash it points to this line:

SGIdle(gSeqGrabber); < thread 1: exc_bad_access (code=2 address=x0x)

Which is a runtime error I just learned

#5

Any guess anyone? Im kinda stuck…

#6

it should work - can you try disabling Camtwist and see if you get anything different?

#7

Hi jvcleave thanks for thinking along, really appreciated. I have disabled camtwist but I get the same error.

Another strange thing is when I build it with the Xcode Zombie Instruments then the app runs just fine.

Some more info on the variable, when I put a breakpoint at SGIdle(gSeqGrabber) then after continue program execution it will loop 4-5 times before i get the exc_bad_access error.

flip4mac was causing trouble, I found out by running some QT examples from apple dev, updated flip4mac now it works.
