Hi there, I am developing an application that will need along with the other functions to capture single-frames in real-time, from two video cameras. There will be one capture card with 2 ports and my application needs to switch programaticaly between these two cameras. I have some experience with Win32 API's for video capturing, but now I can't find any appropriate function that can help to do what I want. As far as I know, this is driver specific issue, but unfortunately the driver's vendor provides SDK in conditions that are not acceptable. /If you by more than 100 cards/ :-)). My client doesn't want to change his capture card and i am in a real trouble. Is there any solution to the problem? I read somewhere that this can be done with DirectShow, if the driver support it, but i have none experience with DirectShow. Is there anyone who can help me? Please! Some advise or an example? Best regards, Ivan
