Thanks JHPJHP & Caronte3D for your help.
Can confirm the demo.pb now works on my machine!! - there appears to be some small changes between 2.1 and 3.0 demo code.
Going to make the changes to my code later to reflect this and try it again.

Re: Video capture issues
Thanks Caronte3D,
The camera output is being used for homebrew machine vision (not OpenCV!) and in my prototype runs at either 2 or 10Hz (throttled on purpose).
The problem is registering the damn escapi.dll (machine is Windows 10, Defender as AntiVirus). It worked fine initially for a few hours ...

Re: Video capture issues
Code here (thanks Caronte). This requires escapi.pb and escapi.dll (https://solhsa.com/escapi/index.html) I've been using 2.1
I put "escapi.pb" and "escapi.dll" in the same folder as the code below:
demo.pb
XIncludeFile "escapi.pb"
device = 0
count = setupESCAPI()
Debug "init: " + Str(count ...

Re: Video capture issues
So I've abandoned VfW in favour of ESCAPI (V2.1)
I got it working for a couple of hours (escapi.dll in the same directory as my project code). Lovely. Then it stopped working. :shock:
Basically something is now stopping it finding escapi.dll, so I tried adding escapi.dll to Windows/System32 ...

Video capture issues
Hi,
I'm trying to display video from a low cost USB video capture device (from Amazon), whilst displaying the video I also want to capture stills for further processing.
I know the capture device works in the standard Win10 webcam app and OBS. I found various bits of sample code on this forum ...

Re: un-SetFrameRate
I have left the adjust framerate feature in my SW so if someone runs it on an ancient machine it will still work.
To lower the overhead I reworked the way the graphics is(was) generated (basically stop regenerating the complex graph background each frame).

Re: un-SetFrameRate
No, I'm using SetFrameRate for my experiments.
SetFrameRate(0) - causes program to crash with: "SetFrameRate(): Frame rate can't be less than 1."

un-SetFrameRate
Is there a way to unset (i.e. set to default) the framerate if it is set?
