I feel your pain..... Discontinuing the Video Grabber library in 8.1, effectively killed a number of projects I was working on that used webcams and digital microscopes in a manufacturing environment. Telling people they can't use the current version of Livecode to maintain old projects is a non-starter. Using the Community edition was an essential part of those projects (developing in house industrial applications using a "proprietary coding environment" is frowned upon where I work).
My current projects use external tools to drive the microscopes, etc. I use LiveCode to "launch" the camera software and make sure it saves images/videos somewhere I can get to them for processing. Definitely not the seamless user interface shop floor operators desire/deserve. I would love to be able to use a native LiveCode capability to drive the tools but.... for now, I do what I can and wait for the day I'll have time to figure out how to build externals/widgets/LCB tools to drive the microscope from within my apps.
