Integrating my FPV camera video into Mission Planner is creating glitchy, delayed video.  I am using the "Hauppauge USB-Live 2 Analog Video Digitizer".  When viewed in the WinTV 7 application using "Game Mode" the video is perfect.  No delays or glitches.  But when I try to put it behind the HUD in mission planner the frame rate is much slower and the video will freeze every few seconds for as many as 2 seconds.  This makes flying FPV impossible.

What solution is best for getting my incoming video into Mission Planner?

I was experiencing the same issue.  I am using a Pinnacle Video Capture for my video, but when I try to view in Mission Planner the stream becomes laggy and causes the whole program to run at a snail's pace.  If the video is viewed through VLC there are no problems and everything runs smoothly.

Does the Pinnacle Video Capture device provide MJPEG compression settings? If so what frame rate and resolution MJPEGs are you encoding? 

Perhaps a slower frame rate would minimize the issues, or... Unlock the aspect ratio of the HUD so the computer isn't resizing the MJPEG to fit into an odd resolution display. 

Let me know how that works, as I've been hunting around for the right video capture card system to use myself.

You need to simulate a virtual device on your computer and stream the video to that device. Here is a handy program that can help you do just that.

Hi Steven,

I have tried to configure my Video Capture Adapter (EasyCAP - OEM device) with that program but I can't make it works. When I configure the graph and play it it said "This graph can't play. the device is not conected (Return code: 0x8007048f).

Do you know how to configure it?

Cheers,

Eladio

Hmmm, I've never run in to that problem and I'm not sure how to help you. It just worked for me. Though if you search up your problem, it looks like quite a few people have had a similar issue.

I will try to configure it later when I could made some research looking for a solution. I  have no experience with this kind of programs so I assume that is a handicap but at least I have a way to explore through your proposal. Thanks

I tried 2 video capture devices, plus one possibility.  I am using an HP laptop running Windows 7, 64 bit.

The EasyCAPture DC60 was a no-go, it looks nice but is worthless, I spent at least an hour looking for a working driver.  

The Dazzle video creator plus HD that I bought in 2010 works with Mission Planner!  Easy to install too.

I also searched online and this looked like a good option, but I haven't tried it.  http://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Video-Capture-Device-10020840/dp/B0029...

Tip: Show video in VLC at your GCS computer and restream to MJPG into HUD. Perfect! Here is the command line:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Name-of-video-device-in-vlc" :dshow-adev="Name-of-audio-device-in-vlc"  :dshow-caching=100  --sout=#transcode{vcodec=MJPG,vb=2000,fps=25,scale=1,width=352,height=288,acodec=none}:duplicate{dst=http{mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8080/},dst=display} :sout-all :sout-keep

Then right-click HUD and select "Select MJPG source" and enter   http://localhost:8080
