Video input (DV/Webcam)
Is there any plugins that support DV / Webcam (I'd prefer DV) feed to use in the background of an effect, wold be greate for parties... crowd shot.

I have tried 3 different plugins.
I-jen motion capture, could,nt find a way to us it without motion capture... and it doesent support DV, I have to convert the DV signal to Webcam signals with external programs.

ICamPlay Dancing (not AVS), and just plainly sucks...

and the last plug i've tried is an AVS plugin that only supported 24bit, witch i cant choose (only 16 and 32)

I'd like a plugin that has dv support, and 32bit.

Anyone know of any?

pr0n for avs (pfavs) does that, but I'm not sure what color depths it supports. Download here.

off topic, but i was wondering why dv cams require/support 32bit colors

I guess they don't, but most desktops are 32 bit.

why would video need an alpha channel?

32-bit is used because most CPUs work with 32-bit internally, and most memory busses are 32-bit as well. This means every pixel is one a DWORD boundary and can be fetched in one go. With 24-bit, pixels cross the 32-bit boundary and performance goes down.
