Video Encoding In Visual Basic
I recently had a request from a company that needs to pass some video from vcr to the computer but in means of using visual basic instead of the software it comes. They don't need an advanced encoding or stuff like that, they only need to pass video from vcr to the computer in which it is saved on a given directory and at the same time saving the path into the database, also to be able to play it in a form in visual basic and be able to capture any image from the video or even record a small segment of video into another video file. They want to skip the step of encoding the video through another program and then use visual basic to browse where is the file in order to save the path of it, so by having all these options on forms in visual basic is the most preferable way. Does anybody know any ocx or component that let me handle all this in VB???? I'll appreciate any suggestion / help.

Play Video -- Visual Basic 6
To anyone who can help me, i am in desperate need of assistance. I am working on a project that involves playing video files. At the present time I am using windows media player but am not tied to it, and can use any tool to play the video clips.

The question I have is: How can i preload clips so that I can have them play one after the next with no delays or pauses. I tried to have two windows media player compenents so that when one was near completed the other one would load the next clip, but i wasnt able to make one visible and one visible after the first two, it always kept the second one on top.

Please, if oyu have any suggestions or experience with this, please, i beg of you to offer your guidenance as I am growing desperate.

thank you in advance,

Dave

Video Interface In Visual Basic Form
I am developing a project, briefly discussing, this form is a visitor pass form. where in there is a requirement that when there is a visitor to the company, after they enter the details of the visitor they also need to put a photograph of that person. For which they are using a Web Camera, And an option with which they can take a print out of that pass with photo.

The question is how to use the driver of the Web Camera or give an interface in the VB Form such that by just click of a button on the form, his photo should appear in a place alloted on the form, and also should be able to take a print out.

Hello everyone,

I intend to get a still digital camera to integrate with my VB program for some self-registration kiosk program.

Capturing Video From Webcam
I've got a USB webcam. I wish to view the moving picture coming from it, like NetMeeting. Netmeeting - you don't need to specify which camera you are using - it takes the one connected, so therefore there must be a universal protocol used. Netmeeting doesn't search for the drivers. How would I go around doing this?. How would I autodetect? My camera is called a Cool iCam, made by Aiptek.

Screen (Video) Capturing In VB?? Looking For Suggestions
Alright I want to make a Screen capturing program just like sharing your desktop within windows. I have seen some samples, but those work with bitmaps and TCP and that's a way to slow method. So I was thinking of using UDP for it. But I am still thinking of a way to send all data right, cause bitmaps are way to slow, but I can't check (I think) what the user is doing or something.

Any suggestions

Video Capture Stops Capturing When App Is Minimized
I'm using some ported code from Microsoft on using their video capture API to make a webcam app. The app runs beautifully except for one thing. The preview stops previewing when the app is minimized.

My app takes the snapshots and uploads like it's supposed to, but it's uploading shots of the preview window as it was just before it was minimized. The preview window doesn't begin showing the capture again until it is brought back up.

Capturing Video And Windows Media Player Control
I have two questions:

1. Can I capture video (It's for personal use so I will only use my own TV Card) with my AverMedia TVCapture98 w/ VCR? And it would be even better if I could display what I am capturing in a AMP Control.

2. Can I make the current frame in a WMP Control a JPG image? I mean, I want to capture the current frame in a WMP Control and save it as JPG file.

Please help me, y'all!

How Can I Find The RGB Value Of A Pixel In A Playing Video?
I want to find out the RGB value of a pixel in the video I've got playing in my program. I know how to use the point method, but that seems to only work on things directly connected to the form.
I used the following code to play a video:

Code:
returnstring = Space(127)
'Avifile to play
erg = mciSendString("close video", returnstring, 127, 0)
FileName = "G:AngleRotationPointsYeah!.avi"
erg = mciSendString("open " & Chr$(34) & FileName & _
Chr$(34) & " type avivideo alias video", returnstring, _
127, 0)
erg = mciSendString("set video time format ms", _
returnstring, 127, 0)
erg = mciSendString("play video from 0", returnstring, _
127, 0)

But that opens the video in a new window and then I don't know how to get pixel colors. Any ideas?
