So, I'm entirely new to VB programming. I've done other programming, but this is my first project in VB so feel free to tell me if I'm trying to do something too complicated.

I need to have a live feed from a USB Webcam, connected to the local machine, displayed in the window/dialog box when the program is running. Also, I'll need to record from the feed and store it as some arbitrary file format on the local hard drive (.avi, .mpg, .mov, one of the fairly common ones). The recording session won't have to be long, only a few seconds. So far, I'm completely stumped.

If I need to elaborate, please let me know. Any help, even a point in the right direction, will be appreciated.

Thank you!

Well if you want a quick things.. I would suggest you use an ocx.. there are many out there (even free) that let you have live feed from a webcam!
