Yeah. That's too bad. I'll continue searching for 32 bit java downloads.
I haven't been following this thread but see it updated a lot. Has this project taken off? How is the programming going?
From what I can see, we are pretty far into the development process. CWStudios has buil most of the program, and the GUI is pretty much complete, as far as I can see. We'll have to find later. And we are just working out little bugs with creating files and compatibility with Canon still cameras.
Yeah canon DSLR's are supported, I haven't tested with to many webcam's but majority should work there's no nikon support as I don't have a nikon camera, I want to add canon powershot support sometime soon. There are some basic things that we are working out before we do any type of release like more flexible video settings, better GUI, more controls for the camera's etc... heres the wiki
We basically have laid the foundation and are working on the walls.

Well, if you to put it that way, we have the house constructed, and are working on the wiring (adding functionality). The sheetrock is not put up yet (GUI), and the walls are not painted nor are their decorations (essentially "the bells and whistles of a program"). 
Also, cwstudios, upon the opening of the program on windows 7, the same error that I received on the Mac OS is there on the windows 7 OS. My question is, where does the EDSDK.dll file supposed to be?
Thanks, through my mistake, I had installed the incorrect JDK. I installed it for 64bit, which I thought it was, and it appears to be a 32 bit OS. Thanks, though. The program works well, despite a few bugs (including the inability to take pictures, unless I am that incompetent). One way to make the program slightly less RAM intensive could be the following code
int batteryCheckRate = 0;
batteryCheckRate++;
if (batteryCheckRate = 50) //or some value greater than one
{
Return battery level code here;
batteryCheckRate = 0;
}Just because I noticed that it was returning the battery level really often, it may help to alleviate some memory consumption. Just a suggestion, and does not need to be done, but on less good computers, anyplace to save memory can help.
Sorry I've been so inactive. Everything looks great, anything I can do to help?
Good idea not something I really thought about. As for not being able to take pictures did you set up a project path? When the program first opens it should ask you where you want to save stuff like video files and images at. Yeah whatever you think needs to be done, here's a basic list of important stuff.
Yes, I did set up a path, though not right away. I was unable to open the image capture window, I will try again to make sure that it will work defining the path at startup.
EDIT: Yeah, I am not able to take pictures. I did look in the directory, and there were no images, but the audio recorder works great and is a nifty little feature that could really be polished up nicely.

I use a canon Rebel T3i.
The code for periodically checking the battery that I wrote up there, currently written, is not feasible. It cannot have a counting variable within a static method, and the method must remain static. It's okay, though as that didn't consume too much extra memory. Also, I added a white balance drop-down window for Canon Cameras, but there are no selections for it.
Okay. Anything you want me to do?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found your post. I get cracking on some graphic designs, unless you want something else to be done.

Sorry for the double post, but this will indicate a new post under the thread.
What dimensions do you want a splash screen to be?
Also, it is very difficult to work on graphics as far as the icon and splash screen go for this thing without a name, so here is where we could use a bit of community input...
What should he name of the program be? This seems like such a simple question, yet it is a difficult thing to do, so any suggestions would be great and perhaps a vote could be cast there is enough participation... so... one more ellipsis for good measure and... post away
