@lostreception: hmm i don't think so... the capture-dll i use is limited to one device right now.

i don't think that it is possible to setup a directx capture graph with more than one video input source.

for this someone has to write a directx filter :-)

but you can do this "offline" on your homepc after you have recorded the raw-videos.

nevermind. got it working.

Prefect · 12-29-2005, 05:59 PM

b8bboi: can you tell what the problem was in your case?

SMOKINV8 · 12-30-2005, 11:27 AM

Prefect, I just wanted to say that I think it is VERY cool of you to come here and share your program on this site, especially with you being a newer member. I plan on giving this a try once I finish putting everything together, so I just wanted to thank you for making it available to us all.

There was no problem. I was just an idiot.

I forgot to install the cam's driver.

@SMOKINV8: Wow thanks a lot for your words! :-D

Again: This is my first c# project and I am still not very good in programming this type of app. If someone want's the C# source to improve the app and share it, he would be welcome.

Regards, Chris

Did you take a look at the audio codec selection ?

Prefect · 12-30-2005, 12:58 PM

@Konrad: couldn't find out how to implement this :-( the DirectXCapture DLL has no wrapper classes for this i think.

b8bboi · 12-30-2005, 03:09 PM

Prefect, could you add some keyboard shortcuts to your app? Like Ctrl-R for recording and Ctrl-S for stop? This is so that we can use a remote.

Prefect · 12-30-2005, 08:04 PM

@b8bboi: here you are: Capture!.zip

@All: New Version!

- Added keyboard shortcut for the Start&Stop-function. Klick "Options" --> "Define Key Shortcut" and follow the instructions

There is also a new config.ini entry for this: "KeyShortCut=S". I think it doesn't work with modifyer keys right now. So try to use it without shift, alt and ctrl.

- Played around with "this.TopLevel;", "this.BringToFront();" and "this.Focus();". I think the window now displays correct topmost when it starts. Please report any unwanted beavior! (strange that the window displays under explorer windows if I leave it with the defaults)

- fixed bug with Start-Button not beeing focused on load.

Greetz, Chris

Does this work with every webcam?

I have 2 of these cameras: http://www.anmo.com.tw/product_infor...s/clipcam.html

Cheerz!

Prefect · 12-31-2005, 05:24 AM

It works with all video capture devices, like every usb-webcam, tv-cards and video-in on graphiccards.

remember that you normally can't use two cams of the same manufacturer on one pc! you have to use two different models because you need two different driver-names.

Try to start c:\windows\vidcap32.exe and see if your cam is displayed as a video source.

That's weird. With the program that came with the cameras I can choose from which camera I get a view.

But I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks for your input.
