Re: Video Visualization in Windows Media Player activated by audio
Okay ... some data points, rather than speculation:
1. iTunes can handle live audio feeds. I do this on a regular basis whenever I perform in Second Life. Granted, I am using two computers (well, actually three if you count the one I am using to run my Second Life client, but for purposes of this discussion you COULD do it with one). Probably the most straight forward way of doing this is to use iTunes and a NiceCast. NiceCast would be your "broadcast server" that would provide a stream that iTunes would recoginze as a "radio" station. Nicecast can be configured to just be a "local host" (
127.0.0.0) server, so you may need to do some fiddling in telling iTunes how to find it. I'm fortunate enough to have an old, heavily upgraded G4 Mac that I use as a separate server.
2. iTunes used, AND STILL CAN USE, G-force for visualization. You can actually use both G-Force and White Cap from Soundspectrum as part of the Visualizer in iTunes. Check it out. As proof, I offer my rough efforts over on the Vimeo page:
http://www.vimeo.com/groups/loopers/videos/2094796
Said video having been produced using G-force (STILL waiting to hear form them about commercial license costs!), having initially confirmed what things would look like using iTunes with the G-force "plug-in". (Actual video was done with the G-force "stand alone" and Snapz Pro for the video capture).
So there you have it.
Best,
Dennis

STefan, are you saying you know a way how to hack iTunes 8? If so,
please share! I bet many would love to apply the iTunes 8 visualizer
to a live feed audio input.
No, I just meant, if the visualizer can jump to audio in, you can feed it with a cable. I don't no how to feed itunes with live audio. Though in theory all necessary information to create a plug-in, should be available. As itunes can also connect to internet feeds, that could also be a way, create a feed and let itunes listen to it...
