Ive got a project to make for a party, its called in holland a “Babbelbox”.
its a computer with a webcam and microphone that can be used to make a kind of video log of everyone who wants to say something about the party.
But the problem is that i dont know where to start. ive made a kind of video show system in c but i cant save any data to a good format so it wont jam my harddisk in one hour full.
Requirements:
-
Record video + audio
-
Recoding has to start after pressing a button
-
Good compression over the recorded
videos (would be even better if it
can to be read by final cut pro or
premiere pro) -
Light wight programm would be nice
but i could scale up the computer
power
We built one from soup to nuts. That includes software, hardware, a full booth, touch-screen, and even themed it as a cultish confessional in honor of our boss. See http://www.cultoftom.com for the gory details.
