Windows Install Guide
Datavyu for Windows can be downloaded from the Datavyu Website. Out of the box Datavyu for Windows has no installed video playback plugins (yet!).
There are two available playback plugins: Quicktime (recommended) and VLC.
In order to use Quicktime for playback, it is necessary to install Quicktime for Windows. If you already have Apple's iTunes, then it should just work, otherwise you can get Quicktime for Windows from here.
Unfortunately, not just any very of VLC will work. After 2.0.1, the interface we use to communicate with VLC was updated and broke support. Until that is fixed, please install version 2.0.1 of VLC (available here). Once installed the VLC playback plugin will work for Windows.
We also have two different scripting plugins: a Ruby interface (with a nice API!) and an R interface, which lacks the API and the ability to save changes back to the Datavyu file. The Ruby interface is included without any extra steps, and is the far more mature interface. However, if you want to use the R interface you need to install the R Windows package from The R Language Website. Once that is installed Datavyu will be able to run R scripts (see the Scripting Manual for more information).
