Flat video using google vr view - google-vr

Is there any way of making a flat view from a 360 video using Google's VR view player? I would like to see the full image without having to move.

If you mean that you would like to see the full 'fisheye' view (Equirectangular projection), then if the video is a MP4 or being streamed as an mp4 most regular players will play it like that if you turn off the 360 view. The same is usually the case if the player does not support 360 view also - i.e. it will just display the flat fisheye view.

Youtube full iframe player with no cookies - Can it be done?

I am trying to create a page with a standard youtube iframe player. It will play a video and when the first video finishes, it will use loadVideoById to load and play a second, and then after it finishes a third video.
The problem I have is that since I have partially watched the second (and third) video while signed into my youtube account, when the second (and third) video plays, it picks up from where I left off watching it on youtube, instead of starting from the beginning, and I don't want this to happen to anyone else who visits the site.
If I open the page in an incognito window it works as expected, so I know my code is good. If I just use an iframe and embed the video using youtube-nocookie.com as the domain (instead of just youtube.com) the videos start from the beginning. I could get away with using this method except I can seem to detect when the first video ends so I can change the iframe's source to start the next video.
I'm looking for any advice on either being able to detect when a youtube video ends in an iframe, or a way of using the full player with no cookies, or something (anything) else that will accomplish this task.

How to get image from preview panel, DirectShow.Net

i am writing an app that preview then capture video from a Video Device (ex:Cam), i didn't found a solution to take a snapshot during capturing with a ASF format.
so i thought i could take a picture from the preview panel but the background-image didn't contain it, and the image property of is null if i use a Picturebox .
do anyone knew how Directshow use the panel or Picturebox to preview video?
Typical solution for capture with preview is to add a tee (smart tee) and then do writing and presentation on the outputs of that tee respectively. PlayCap DirectShow.NET sample shows how to visualize video feed. Video renderer provides methods to read back last presented video frame, so that you could make a snapshot out of it.
Separate parts of this task have been discussed many times, including here:
Preview a camera in DirectShow and capture a still image - in VB.net
VB.Net Directshow Webcam Snapshot
Capturing pictures from webcam at high resolution while previewing at a lower one using DirectShow.Net

Apply a Filter to a Camera video stream publishing to Media Server

I am Trying to Apply some information Like text and An Image as an overlay to create a overlay effect as lice a security camera with time and date on the video along with a png based Logo.
I can record VIDEO Using Flex and FMS or any other Media Server. But I want to save a modified version of the stream being uploaded.
Use camTwist (mac) or webcammax (pc) as your video input...you can use that program to use the webcam and then add whatever over it (text, date). Use Flash Media Live Encoder and select camTwist as your video source. Stream and save your recordings using that FMLE.
Sorenson Squeeze is pretty awesome for this and is cross platform. Camtwist is cool but it's not really a 'pro' app, that makes me sound way snobbish. It's actually pretty fun and a good suggestion for a simple result but I haven't found anything better than Sorenson Squeeze for the features and control it gives you.

Google Streetview API - Get Panorama JPG

Is there a way for me to get a complete 360 panorama image (such as a jpg) from a location in Streetview? Basically, I want to do custom presentation of the image and want to download the whole thing at once rather than using the Streetview window and it's controls.
There is a section in the Google Documentation for Panoramas but they don't explain how to get a streetview 360 image. Instead, they use the streetview window, which I don't want to do.
EDIT
I should clarify that I'm not trying to build my own streetviewer. I just want the entire image so that I can present it to the user.
When you're in street-view of google maps with your desired zoom open Developer Tools (chrome: ctrl + shift + I).
Under resources open frames -> data -> images. Scroll down to cbk.
There will probably be a lot of them. Find one that is a single tile of your current location. Right click and open in a new tab.
In the address bar find the part that says output=tile&x=1&y=2&zoom=4 or whatever values they may be.
x=_&y=_ is the name of the tile. To get all the tiles you'll need to go through every variation of x and y and reload the page and save the image each time.
At zoom=3, x goes from 0 to 6 and y goes from 0 to 3 for a total of 28 tiles.
At zoom=4, x goes from 0 to 12 and y goes from 0 to 6 for a total of 91 tiles.
If you need a static image, check the Google Street View Image API, you can get panos with a field of view (fov) up to 120 deg. However, it seems to me you jus to create your own Street View viewer re-using Google's images... which is against the Terms of Use.
