Jerry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 1:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Saving an image from a web cam I am in need of some code that can be embedded in or called from a VFP program to automatically crop and convert a .bmp file to a .jpg file. The .bmp files come from a USB web cam. I was hoping to be able to set the video format to have the horizontal and vertical dimensions the same but apparently that would require rewriting the camera drivers. A .jpg output option from the camera driver would have been nice as well. Since neither of these features appear to be available, I believe cropping the image in the same operation that converts it to a .jpg will be a satisfactory solution. If someone has a recommendation of a package that works well with VFP, it will probably save me a lot of time wading through all the options that Google turns up.
