Thanks Chris,<br>
<br>
That helps steer me in the right direction for tool selection. What Im specifically stuck on however, is a basic idea on how<br>
to do emulate video feedback.....<br>

You'll need to be a little more clear about what you're asking:<br>
<br>
1) how to call a python program from VB -- I have no idea, try <br>
comp.lang.python, or a PyWin32 mailing list if there is one. Although <br>
calling a python program as a command line program from VB should be <br>
trivial -- but why use Python for that? Why not go all the way?<br>
<br>
2) How to do this all in Python -- If you want a GUI, you need to choose <br>
a toolkit first -- I recommend wxPython, but TkInter, PYGTK, PyQT, etc <br>
are good options, too.<br>
<br>
3) How to do the image generation/manipulation -- then PIL (and this <br>
list) may be the best place, but you could also just do it straight with <br>
the GUI toolkit (wxPython anyway). You might also want to use the <br>
"numpy" package -- it's a good way to manipulate arrays of numbers.<br>
<br>
4) If you want the equivalent of video feedback, but without actual <br>
images, just numbers, then numpy is definitely a good way to go.<br>
<br>
If I wanted to write a program that demonstrated video feedback, I'd <br>
probably do the number crunching with numpy, and make a GUI to display <br>
and manipulate the results in wxPython. I'm not sure where VB would fit <br>
into this.<br>
