Hi everyone, VERY VERY challenging: I am trying to record live video footage (web camera) from inside director. I've used the videosprite xtra, but it does not offer the possibility to record. I also tried the Vcap xtra, which allows you to record, but the AVI file I create does not open. I get this error message: "There is an error in the source file" ... or something. In order to record I attach the following script: on mouseup me VCapInit() put vcaperror() vcapSetCaptureFileName("C:\MYVIDEO.AVI") put vcaperror() vcapAllocFile(50000000) put vcaperror() vcapSetCapLimitByTime(TRUE) put vcaperror() vcapSetCapMustPressOK(False) put vcaperror() vcapSetCapTimeLimit(2 * 60) put vcaperror() vcapCaptureVideo() put vcaperror() end Any suggestions more than welcome. I appreciate your help in advance, Panos Bartziokas ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
