dj vegas 1:38 AM - 22 March, 2010
what setting do you use that will make the pip window not flash? i was told to use h.263 but there is only a h.264 maybe it is call something else but its not up there. thanks for the help!!

yeah man, i got the same problem. i had h.263 as an option, which worked fine. but my stupid ass decided to try some other setting and lost the option for h.263. i deleted pip and reinstalled it but still don't have that option. can anyone else help out?

djdaddydog 1:48 PM - 23 March, 2010

dj vmb 2:45 PM - 23 March, 2010
I have the same problem, are you guys using the macbook webcam or an external?
dj vegas 4:21 PM - 23 March, 2010
exturnal i called the people and im trying to get the first version

i have 1.1 and still have H.263 in my options. it's listed right above H.264, BUT, i have never changed it since i first chose it
djdaddydog 1:18 PM - 26 March, 2010
don't change your setting or you'll be assed out like me & vegas. lately i've been using camtwist with an external isight but still can't freak it right. i dont know how to use camtwist good, so the only thing i can project on top of my video output is a lil preview of my turntables & hands.
PopRoXxX 10:49 PM - 26 March, 2010
camtwist is only for web output i believe. i don't think it will connect with your external monitor. i could be wrong though

thanks for the tip. i won't change it ;-)
dj vegas 6:40 AM - 27 March, 2010
pop can you upload your version and post it?
djdaddydog 6:29 PM - 27 March, 2010
aahhh maybe that's why i can't really get it to work right. camtwist's pip is a preview box that i can't resize. yeah...can someone upload pip 1.0? all i can find online is 1.1
PopRoXxX 9:25 PM - 27 March, 2010
how do i upload my version?
djdaddydog 4:30 AM - 28 March, 2010
to mediafire would be good. and just pass along the link bro. thanks
PopRoXxX 4:44 AM - 28 March, 2010
yeah. but how would i upload it to media share or any other site from my app folder?
DJCheLu 10:03 PM - 31 March, 2010
So what is a good setting for pip with vsl? Im about to check out this cool software :)
DJCheLu 10:38 PM - 31 March, 2010
Also what webcam are you guys using with good low light quality? Apple isight?
dj vmb 3:49 PM - 1 April, 2010
I don't thnk there is a webcam that is good with low light levels. I'm looking for one also right now.
DJCheLu 5:03 PM - 1 April, 2010
according to this article www.tomshardware.com the watchport v is the best low light camera. I just havent raised enough funds to try it out yet. Its bout 180 on amazon, but the apple isight boasts great low light capability and i can get one of those used for about 100. Still searching for a low light video on it.

add me to that list ;-)

do yourself a favor,...don't get an external isight if you plan to use it at a club without lighting. shit looks like ass. i get a fuzzy pic that is pure garage on screen.

to use pip chelu,...put the settings to h.263. the only downside is there is a delay
djdaddydog 10:10 PM - 3 April, 2010
lol..i meant garbage
Marine 10:33 AM - 13 April, 2010
How do you use a different camera if you don't want to use the built in camera on a macbook pro, it won't let me change the video source any help would be much apreciated, Thanks

has anyone come to a solution with this?

PIP flickers, and i would really like to use it

i don't have the "Apple VC h.263" Codec, only one that simply says "h.263" which seems to be a different one.

but to be honest i think it's more something that has changed with a new version of video-sl or mac os-x.

that's why i would like to know if anyone has pip still running with the newest versions.

i use macOsX 10.6.3. (Build 10D573)
with Scratchlive 20049 ,
video-sl 12020
and PIP v.1.1

anyone got it working with a similar setup?
anyone got it working at all? which versions of the software do you use?
radikarl 11:22 AM - 13 June, 2010
i found out the best i can achieve is with the v-snyc option turned off

and in PIP, use h.263
with frame rate manually set to that of the monitor.
