However, ive used it for an app with Modul8, Quartz Composer, and *any* screen source (jitter, real video, etc), and it definitely works, even though its not optimized and has some overhead.</span></span></div><div><br></div><div>There are even better ways of doing this, using CGRemotOperation to get window update hints, combine it with openGl screen scraping and asycnronous readback and you have a poor mans version sound-flower for video. Ive seen some applications that provide 'virtual' video devices, spoofing a DV camera driver, or virtualizing an iSight to let multiple apps use it. However, this is indeed 10.5 OS X only.</div><div><br></div><div>Im wiling to bet this could be glued together pretty well, and is probably on "someones to do list" *ahem*</div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2E0D6E" face="Monaco"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2E0D6E" face="Monaco"><br></font></div><div><br><div><html>On Apr 2, 2008, at 9:43 AM, Jean-François Charles wrote:</html><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">I guess with [spigot~] you get the sound into MSP world.
