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
