 |If you want to see some Java video decompression in action,
 |surf on over to my project pages
 |  http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk
 |
 |Have a play with the Java Web Cam.
 |
 |Also take a look at  http://ww.sct.cs.strath.ac.uk
 |For details of the actual compressor/decompressor.
 |
 |It runs ok on FreeBSD/Linux with a PII 300 or faster
 |Under Windows, which has JIT, a P166 will do.
 |
 |What really hits us bad in Java the YUV conversion.
 |also, we cannot paint anything larger than 320x256 pixels before
 |the speed drops off rapidly.

Pretty slick.  I'm impressed with the low bandwidth requirement.  I have a
56k connection and it doesn't fill it up.

But somehow I managed to core dump the web cam ;-)

    strathclyde.cs.sct.SyncErrorException:  Delayed SYNC code

I zoomed in all the way, did a bit of focusing, and then hit Reset
Position.  Somewhere in there (there is a lag from US to UK :-) it decided
enough was enough.  I was also playing with some icons that looked like
stop and play on the video window.

Oh BTW, you might consider mentioning up at the top of the page that it
requires Java (I know applet is mentioned a few pages down).  I normally
keep Java and Javascript disabled for the usual reasons (security,
stability), and when the page came up I just had balloon help around these
blank areas.
