One-Click WebCam Recording!

Cool program!

I do have a couple of suggestions for your consideration.

1) In addition to setting the record new file after a specified size is reached, be able to set the amount of time in minutes that owu want each clip to run.

2) Superimpose live date and time, and have it recorded into the video on the bottom edge or one of the corners of the video window.

Hi sebberry!

1) Thought about that myself. Will add it...

2) I really want that too! But i think the DirectX Capture Class i use is not able to superimpose something :-( . I think i have to switch to DirectShotNet (http://directshownet.sourceforge.net)

On the German forum we are talking about how to show the GPS speed on a corner of the Video. That would be cool 8-)

@sebberry: 1) done.

@All: New Version: Capture!.zip

StopAfterSeconds=1800
### sets the time limit in seconds for each .avi file. 0 for no limit.

Stop occures whatever comes first, the MB- or time-limit.

Sweet! While you're at it do you think you could quickly whip up a version that superimposes 3D navi maps over top of the video window?

J/K, but I think this is a great little tool for recording

Still dont know how to get this program embedded in RR. Someone wanna share the secret?

**b8bboi** · 03-03-2006, 06:14 PM

Huh? WHat secret? Here's the command that loads the program.

"WEB_CAM","LOAD;web_cam.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Road Runner\CFX_Tools\Capture!\Capture!.exe;Capture!;"

Then it web_cam.skin, just make sure you define an A region as follow.

/, A, x, y, w, h, color;RGB
A01,141,90,649,420,42,98,147

just got a chance to test it for like 5 min before my laptop batetery died on me, it works ok on the VIDCAP32.exe. so yay the ir cctv is a capture device.

but on the capture! app, when i start thte app i get this error

i have .net framework 1.1 installed.

any ideas?
it does work in movie maker and other such apps.

man i like this image

update, ummm its a COM error, wonder if thats because it currently isn't pulgged in... ok i'll plug it in later and let you know if i get the same error....

update, yep same error when its plugged in,

Hi DarkSlice!

I sometimes get this kind of error if any device or configured in the ini is not accessable. try setting them all to "0" or download the "CauptureTest.zip" i posted here some pages ago. There you can see all the capture devices and audio devices and set them correctly in the config.ini.

greetz!

hi, i use tv card and composite input. Prob is that i must everytime(after each windows start-up) change videostandart from NTSC_M to PAL_D. I know it is not capture! thing, but do you know howto? in control panel is nothing about the capture device. only one way is use capture or webcamxp pro(another app for cameras)
thanks

btw: i have upgraded pc to 479socket aopen board and celeron M1.6ghz and capture run verry cool! 10-20% cpu usage while recording with compression (1minute = +-4MB in super quality)!!
