isight cameras (and prolly others) have images that come out funny because
instead of ARGB data, the colors are coming back BGRA. need to figure out
if this is an apple/qtjava issue or our own problem. even if the latter, we
need a workaround.

fixed in release 0115 (i think) or in quicktime 7.1 (if not).

I'm playing back a QT movie that plays in correct colors in QT 7.1.2, but is all blue in
Processing 0115. Any solution in sight?

Thanks! Processing is fabulous!

this should be fixed, what sort of machine are you running on?

i think this isn't fixed release 0115.

Camera image was fixed but video is not.

this is my workaround until fix bug.

[code]
.
.
boolean intelmac;
.
.
void setup() {
.
.
intelmac = isIntelMac();
}
.
.
void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
myMovie.read();
if(intelmac) convertMovie(myMovie.pixels);
}
.
.
//
// detect intel mac
//
boolean isIntelMac() {
String os_name = System.getProperty("os.name");
String os_arch = System.getProperty("os.arch");

if(os_name.equals("Mac OS X") && os_arch.equals("i386"))
return true;
else
return false;
}
//
// convert movie image
//
void convertMovie(int[] pixels) {
for(int i=0; i < pixels.length;i++) {
pixels[i] = convertPixel(pixels[i]);
}
}

//
// convert BGRA to ARGB
//
int convertPixel(int data) {
int a = ((data & 0x000000FF) << 24) & 0xFF000000;
int r = ((data & 0x0000FF00) << 8) & 0x00FF0000;
int g = ((data & 0x00FF0000) >> 8) & 0x0000FF00;
int b = ((data & 0xFF000000) >> 24) & 0x000000FF;

return a | r | g | b;
}
.

got it, fixed for 0116. thanks for posting, i hadn't realized that it was
also a problem for movies.
