One-Click WebCam Recording!

Haha thanks JC ;-)

(cool list! saw it for the first time now *g*)

Works great on my home pc, but I do get an error when I try to change options -> audio source.

The program works great at home! Thanks a lot!

Here are the settings I'm running:
Cam.: Ezonics P35U+
Res.: 640x480 @ 30FPS
Audio: none
Compressor: DivX® 5.2.1 Codec

I'll be installing this in the car tomorrow to see how it runs in action.

Bugs/Suggestions:
Although I'm viewing and recording at 640x480, Video Device Capabilities (Options-->Video Capabilities) is still showing 320x240.
Would you be willing to make the start button a start/stop button (i.e. when you press start, the button turns to stop and that way I won't have to look for the stop button on the other end of screen while driving)?
Is there a way to create a "background.jpg" file so that the user could change the background to any picture he/she likes? I understand that you really like your RX-8, but most of us are in this hobby for the "cool factor." It's not really cool to have someone else's car show up on their screen.
Not sure if it's a bug, but there's no titlebar in full screen mode.

--> i'm checking that. i think the menu has it own defaults, regardless what you set in the config.ini. i think i have to rebuild the menu at startup for showing the correct settings

--> first i had this configuration. but then i wanted the stop button seperate to prevent accidently doubleclicks on the start-stop button. (clicked stop and accidently started again) we should start a poll for that question :)

--> sure, sure! thats clearly an extension i want to integrate. customisable background-images. i just don't know yet how to integrate .jpg images right out of the C# code (right now the image is integrated in the .exe)
Not sure if it's a bug, but there's no titlebar in full screen mode.
--> thats not a bug :cool: set it to "normal" and start it fullscreen via your carpc software if you want a titlebar.

Just make the double-click event do nothing, or put disable on the button that is released after a delay of half a second or something...

Just an idea. :)

Noob! :p

new Version: Capture!.zip (or use the link on the first post, they are the same :cool: )

new features:

• one big button for start AND stop
• higher buttons (sometimes the windows taskbar was overlapping the buttons)
• customizable background image!! just save your own "background.bmp" to the programm folder. only bmp works till now.
• smaller file size because the background image is no longer integrated in the exe.

@DJiK: on my system the menu is showing the tick correct at 640x480 if i set the following in the config.ini:
FrameSizeHeight = 640
FrameSizeWidth = 480

@Bodgy: i can reproduce the error. but i can't locate the problem in the code till now. i have to work on it tomorrow..

regards! chris

I refuse to install .NET on my CarPC ... it grinds to a halt, I don't even have it on my Desktop .... .NET seems to slow everything down even when just installed.
