View 1 RepliesI wanted to make a screen recorder (not screen capture) program, but I am not entirely sure how to get it started. I have seen many videos and things on how to make one, but all of these just take multiple pictures and then don't compile them into a movie file, and I don't want to take many pictures (unless that is the only way possible.) I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have looked at the Windows Media Encoder, but I can't seem to figure out how to use/implement it (yes, I have downloaded and installed it.) Maybe I can use some kind of ActiveX control?
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to play with DirectShow but it's getting on top of me and my question on here didn't answered so I'm thinking maybe I should go with a different approach. (DirectShow VB.net can't change recording format). <- Where as that 'works' I can't get it in the format I want it, and I don't really understand it so I'd obviousl like to go down the route of something I can get my head around.
I've googled till my fingers are raw trying to come up with an easy way to record video in my vb.net application, it doesn't have to be fancy, just a preview with a start record, stop record button, that's it.
capture picture or video from usb cam?
View 8 RepliesI'm currently working on a project which is basically Server-Client based. Client is standalone VB executable file and Server is web based.The program is supposed to use webcam as video capture device, stream video footages to server (on website - live feed) and allows users to manually save captured videos into their computer.Thats basically the brief description of my system. I'm starting off working with VB right now and website after I'm done with VB.I'm new to VB, this would be my 1st project on it. I've looked for available sources online and found several VB apps which lets me capture image file through my webcam. Also on MSDN forum, i found recommendations on using "DCAM Server" to stream videos on website but I'm still not sure of how to configure the settings to make it work properly, and of course, don't have a proper website for it to work with yet atm. Also realise I'll need to integrate some .dll files or activeX functions to use video capture function. I don't really know how to use these yet rite now.
View 3 RepliesVB and programming on Windows as such. Mostly c++/gcc/linux. I am trying to build this VB app that shows a streaming video from a camera and that needs to be overlaid with some custom graphics and text. I used the code published here: [URL] to get the capture part to work. It essentially uses the avicap32.dll that most of you would probably know.
My plan:
1) Capture frames using SendMessage(windowHandle, WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY, 0, 0) and then copy from clipboard.
2) Do whatever graphics/text overlay on the obtained bitmap
3) send it to some picturebox on some form that is being shown
4) Do step 1 to 3 in a loop by a spawned worker thread.
Firstly is this a reasonable way to do what I want? or is there a much more efficient/easier way to about?
Now the specific problem: From my main thread directly if I do step 1 to 3 once UIComponent.DrawImage(VideoComponent.GetBitmap()) It shows me once captured image as it should and all is good.
Just to clarify: UIComponent is an object/instance that launches the Form and owns the picturebox I want to display on. VideoComponent is an object/instance that has started the videocapture and owns the picturebox to which the video is being captured. But if I wrap the same call above in a function and launch a thread that would start with that function as its starting point, I see a blank screen. Again, for testing purpose, I am only doing step 1 through 3 just once.
The thread part of the code is like this:
Private drawthread As Thread
public sub main()
drawthread = New Thread(AddressOf threadfunc)
[CODE]........
when i am recording video my application disappears.
its VB application.
FormBorderStyle : none (is it problem?)
Public Class Form1
Dim resim As New System.Drawing.Point
Dim X, Y As Integer

Visual Basic has a function that allows a video from a webcam to be saved as .AVI file which inherently is too large for data transfer over the internet. I would like to know if there is a function that allows the video to be saved as a .WMV, or a .FLV file so its smaller and allowed to be transfered over the net. Here is a snippet of the code i am using

I am planning to create a proprietary Windows application that will let the user capture video and audio from any other Windows application and stream it onto another computer via Internet. Capturing video is easy, I could simply let the user browse all open windows (or applications) and have the user click the prefered one. But what about audio? Is it possible in Windows to capture the audio from any application?

currently, im using a webcam in my thesis. one of my objective is to have a realtime camera that can record/capture a video at the same time can capture image. i dont know how to code it in vb.net.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to capture (Record) the Windows desktop and save it as a '.avi' or '.mpg' file. This functionality can be done using screen capture / presentation programs like SnagIT:[URL]..I have found many examples showing how to capture from a webcam using the 'avicap32.dll' DLL file but these dont help with this problem.
If you are asking why i dont just use SnagIT its because the interface is overly complex and building my own version would allow me to intergrate it into my existing programs.
I'am on Visual Studio 2008, language :VB
I want to integrate to my application a process to capture the audio and video from a specific area of the screen and save it in a .wmv or .avi file.
I already have Microsoft.Expression.Encoder on my computer but I dont know how to integrate the tool to my project.
I'm looking for some help/examples on reading or updating the video capture filter properties in VB.NET. I am working with a USB video device that came on a Panasonic Toughbook. The camera has alot of functions that the user can set when running the software that came with the toughbook (zoom, bightness, contrast, etc)
[Code]...
I am trying to add the ability to select a camera to my program to start with I need to list the currently installed devices in a drop down menu much like what is used in MSN's webcam selection but the only thing that I can find that comes close is
Declare Function capGetDriverDescriptionA Lib "avicap32.dll" _
(ByVal wDriverIndex As Short, _
ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal cbName As Integer, ByVal lpszVer As String, _
ByVal cbVer As Integer) As Boolean
This, even with 4 different webcams installed, returns "Windows WDM image capture"
I want a code that will be usefull to make a program that opens the video camra of the PC and saves the camera sight (or images capture).
