Dear Folks,

I found the bug. Now it's possible to read frames from video files on both
linux and MacOS systems. The video-reading object spawns standard installations
of mplayer and mencoder to transcode just about any video file into raw video frames
and to write the frames one at a time to a named pipe (fifo). It then uses
native IDL commands to read frames from the fifo. No DLL.

The code for the video-reading object is available for download under the GPL at

http://physics.nyu.edu/grierlab/software/dgggrmplayer__defin e.pro

The next challenge is to get this thing to read frames from cameras.
Suggestions are warmly invited.

TTFN,

David
