Re: Image Capture Questions

Unfortunetly, the Abstract VDIG costs money, unless there's something I
missed. I'd prefer not to buy something unless I'm sure it'll fix the
problem. The webcam I'm using (iBot) came with software, which I just
used to record a video, so I guess the capability is there.

However, when I downloaded VirtualDub like you said, I get the
following error when I try to Capture AVI: "Error 418: Capture Device
was not detected." Do you think that this is a problem with my webcam
driver or with the VDIG? I'm going to be extremely annoyed if the
whole time the problem wasn't in my code...

Thanks,
Dennis
