I'm prototyping a client that displays streaming video from a HaiVision Barracuda through a quicktime client. I've been unable to reduce the buffer size below 3.0 seconds... for this application, we need as low a latency as the network allows, and prefer video dropouts to delay. I'm doing the following: - (void)applicationDidFinishLau...

I have an NSWindow that I want to display as part of another window. It has to be an NSWindow; I don't want to change it to an NSView or anything... I just don't because it involves accessing foreign nib files and the such. How should I accomplish this if possible? I was thinking along the lines of grabbing the view of the NSWindow and ...
Is there any way to get CHUD 4.7.2 installed with full frameworks ? Currently it seems that you either have to settle for CHUD 4.7.2 installed as part of Xcode 3.2.2 without frameworks, or install the CHUD 4.6.2 package after Xcode 3.2.2 to get the frameworks, but then of course you only have the older 4.6.2 tools such as Shark 4.6.2 ? I...

Working environment: OS X 10.6.3, Xcode 3.2.1 Hi! I'm working on a project called Rent-a-Flick. The project has two entities: Movie and Client. Between them there's a many-to-many relationship. I have 2 tables: one with the movies and one with the clients. Their content is bound to the proper array controllers(for movie and client). I...
I'm used to editing my remote Ubuntu server through SSH and Nano. I've tried using Vim and Emacs but since I don't manage the server frequently enough I never quite get the hang of it and end up forgetting the commands. I use TextMate daily for programming and was wondering if there's any counter-recommendation against mounting the serv...
Hi, I'm trying to use cocoa to grab images from a webcam. I'm able to get the image in RGBA format using the QTKit and the didOutputVideoFrame delegate call, and converting the CVImageBuffer to a CIImage and then to a NSBitmapImageRep. I know my camera grabs natively in YUV, what I want is to get the YUV data directly from the CVImageBu...

Is it a menu style, or a window flag I can set like the brushed metal-style? Lots of little free apps seem to use it. http://bambooapps.com/free-stuff/ is a good example. ...

Google searches yield detailed instructions for emacs 22, but it looks like changes have been made that make it hard to figure out where I'm supposed to stick the source files. The internal documenta...

What I'm wondering is: ...
