Since a few days back Ive been fighting the VLC activeX while making a mediaplayer inside a small test application.
However now Ive hit a wall...
My problem is how do i record video from a usb camera via the activeX, I tried out some code from an older post but it didnt work out entirely. It just made the program run while doing nothing
The programming language is VB on a winXP-2k platform the cam is some simple Philips thingy basic webbcam stuff.
The code Ive tried for recording is as follows.
Code: Select all
Dim Vopt(12) As String
Vopt(0) = ":dshow-vdev=""Philips ToUCam XS"""
Vopt(1) = ":dshow-adev="""""
Vopt(2) = ":dshow-size="""""
Vopt(3) = ":dshow-caching=200"
Vopt(4) = ":dshow-chroma="""""
Vopt(5) = ":dshow-fps=25.000000"
Vopt(6) = ":no-dshow-config"
Vopt(7) = ":no-dshow-tuner"
Vopt(8) = ":dshow-tuner-channel=0"
Vopt(9) = ":dshow-tuner-country=0"
Vopt(10) = ":dshow-tuner-input=1"
Vopt(11) = ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=384,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}"
Vopt(12) = ":duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=""C:\wtf.ogg""}}"
VLCPlugin1.addTarget "dshow://", Vopt, VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, -666/C
