@NoahPhense,

I notice an error in your batch file (or is it on purpose?)
C:\pb\pb4\compliers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER

Why do you need the buffer size, most of the time windows and/or linux are more than capable to handle the i/o the buffers are kept in memory so?

The MAC is the adress of your NETwork card inside your computer (or router) has nothing to do with your provider.

What is not working?

NOT works really:



EnableExplicit

Define Mess.l, Line.s

OpenConsole()

mess.l = #False
; mess.l = #True
Line.s = " test bla : bla test"

If Not Mess.l
If FindString( Line.s, ":", 1)
PrintN( "!!" + Line.s + "!!<o><o>")
EndIf
EndIf

Input()

End

This is happening because when you use #PB_Any, a new image# is being generated but because it's a new and different image# from all existing image#'s, the old one is not getting freed.
I wonder if the same memory leak problem could potentially exist when using #PB_Any for gadgets etc? That is, is ...

Some of the memory you were not seeing used was actually most likely in swap so your computer wouldnt crash! In the old days your computer wouldn't have been running ;)

True, but I think this is memory 'claimed' by my program but NOT given back because it crashed.

You have four ways of programming in PB:

0) Extreme relaxed

1) Verry relaxed

2) Less relaxed

3) closed (uptight?)

I choose with intend for the ZERO as the first methode but that is because i never use that, only for very short temporary code to testing code.

AndyMk,

You have to test for #WM_MOVE in your message pump (being the PB or a callback). Than temporally stop the capture, after the #WM_MOVE stop you can capture again I believe there is a 'pause' constant to send to AviCap.

AndyK,

Yes that is because wincap is writing to the screen via your window this has to do with pointers, so move the window and wincap needs to update its internal wizardry that takes time!!.

And 15 frames is not enough? MSN does it with 10 max and most of the time with 'only'5 frames.
