Advanced version! If you have a Video Capture card installed on your computer, then this will work great! I tested this on 3 different capture cards on different computers with 100% satisfaction! Thanks to E. J. Bantz Jr. for providing this free code from his website.

I used this source code with VB6 and when I made the .exe file and try to run it with my video capture card, I see only a blue screen. The program detected my driver but no picture. Whats wrong?

Well, if you use a program that comes with your capture card, and when it first starts, or if it has no input to display, it will give you a screen with blue in it, you need to have something hooked into your capture card in order for it to display anything besides blue.

I tried to let the capturing running in the background and used a command button to stop the capturing. So, I set CAP_PARAMS.fYield to true. However, the program will be hanged up. Do you know why???
CAP_PARAMS.fYield = True
Thanks.

If you have a vidcap device, you should also check out the free code that is available on www.shrinkwrapvb.com for VB video capture.

I'm now using this code as sort of a foundation to build for a video capturing program to suit me needs. I added a file open function and now I'm looking into a time lapse function. I need to take a snap shot every period of time and save them in the HD. Also I need to creat a second view port to preview the capture shots. Any help of these matters would be great. Thanks in advance

I'm using a PCI Win/TV card
Why is it not refreshing very often?
I had a blue screen to start with.
I chose Tuner as the input and it was blue. so i closed vb, opened my cards tv program then closed it and went back to vb and it was working fine (apart from it being slow to refresh)

First of all let me thank you for a wonderful code for VB developer for Capturing from normal frame grabber cards (for Video for Windows driver )
Now can you suggest me how to ....
(1) Use one video source in one window
and Another video source (say S-Video) in another window simultaneoulsy
(2) Can I see this video live in both windows or do I have to do preview?
(3) How can I use dual Monitor for both this videos?
(4) Is there any faster method to capture a single frame. Right now I am using
capEditCopy lwndC
Picture2.Picture = Clipboard.GetData()
And then use Point to read the picture datas.
a1 = Picture2.Point(olix, oliy)
Is there any faster way to grab this picture and do image analysis.
(5) do you know of subpixel edge detection
Sorry in advance if I have troubled you.
Best regards
Utpal
