Strangely this is not a problem when using openframeworks, so it might be a java thing.

I wanted to test openCV but it is useless to do so without carrying around a web cam.Ī side note: I drew the framerate in the getting-started-with-video example, and the framerate did not drop below 57fps even with the stuttering, so I think it might be a driver issue in getting images from the camera. It would be nice if this laggie camera problem was remedied. They mentioned turning off hardware acceleration for the display but I was unable to find that in the current windows version. I 'did' find some preferences one could set by right-clicking on the processing icon, but none of them seemed to do anything. I tried some suggestions on another post on a microsoft forum ( ) but I cannot find out how to disable hardware acceleration.
