Hi all!
I'm having an idea for a script/feature that could do some cool things for triggering photos/video, but I need to know if some things are possible with CHDK before I spend more time with it.
First of all, am I right in understanding that the cameras use uncompressed PCM (.wav) for audio recordings?
Second, could CHDK perform something like this:
-record 5secs of audio
-use 2secs for "something else"
-delete previously recorded 5secs of audio
-be ready to do this again or jump to different part of script
in less than 10secs? And are there ways to program this without emulating button presses? I know that recording audio is only possible as "comments" to a picture when you use the camera. Are there other ways to record audio with a script? It does not necessarily have to be in an audio file, it could just be raw dump from the microphone.
I know I could have investigated some of these things on my own, but my Powershot is being repaired at the moment. Yes, I broke it, and I'm sad. Thank god plastic can be glued back on
Thank you in advance,
Asmund
