Video Output

[Matteo Memelli]

Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to capture video output signal
with python? Is there any module which could help doing this?
If it's not possible, is there a way to capture a snapshot of a window or
d desktop with python?
I would like to write a simple app that allows somebody to watch what I'm
doing while working on a project.

Thank you very much

This sort of thing is very OS dependent...

what I'm doing while working on a project.

What's wrong with VNC? It's not in Python, to be sure, but it sounds
pretty much like what you want.

Cheers,

Have a look at

http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/

Works fine under Win2000.

At the risk of continuing to underestimate that project, I will point out
that it appears to relate to video *input* signals, not video output as
the OP asks for. He wants something that magically takes the output of
his computer (can't really be done the way he hopes) and sends it to
someone else.

VNC is the way to go...

Not that it's directly related, but, as a FYI, it appears that there
is at least a VNCviewer implemented in Python (as I discovered today).

"VNC Viewer -- This is a simple VNC viewer implemented in Python,
using Twisted and PyGame."

Thank you I'm testing VNC
Anyway I would also like to understand how softwares like "import" in linux
work. I mean is it possible to write a python script that would take
a screen shot of my desktop?
Thx

I wonder if there isn't some kind of X-windows tee-ing process that can send
duplicate X-windows commands to a remote server to show in duplicate on another
machine. So if you were working using an X-windows GUI, it could transparently
be being duplicated on someone else's screen. Seems like someone would have
done this at some point.

What (and where) is VNC?

First link... well, okay, third link really, since the first just redirects
to it.

Sorry, being lazy. Someday the OS will intercept anything with with a question mark at the
end an pop up a hint that it has references on disk or can google ;-)

Anyway, looks like something for the MWTG (might want to get) log.
