Hi,

Does anyone know of, or have, a library that enables a program to capture streaming video from a web-type camera on a USB port.

I have tried WIAAut.dll from microsoft but that doesn't let you analyse the individual frames coming from the camera without kludging a messy bitblt routine from the form's hDC.

I'm not interested particularly in audio capture at the moment because my program is a "computer vision" experiment.

I have tried the kludged get-around but the performance is unacceptable, plus it takes up too much form space, with the VideoPreview control and a picturebox to bitblt the data to. Plus you cant draw on the videopreview control via normal means.

I need to be able to capture 5 frames per second at a resolution of 320*240 @24 bit colour.

Has anyone got a link or an idea for me ?

Thanks.

Adam.
