This time, I wrote my code like this:

But...

>   File "main.py", line 98, in video_observer

    imgd = img.tostring('raw', 'RGBA', 0, 1)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 535, in
> tostring

    e = _getencoder(self.mode, encoder_name, args)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 399, in
> _getencoder

    return apply(encoder, (mode,) + args + extra)

SystemError: unknown raw mode
