Hi,

I'm looking for code to capture an image from a usb webcam and store it as a bitmap, so far all I've been able to find is pointers to vfw (video for windows) header and library file but I cannot understand how to utilise these. I'm using Visual C++ 6.0.

Thanks in Advance,

What camera? Do you have the driver libraries and/or an SDK?

[Meanstreak]

The camera I have is a logitech webcam, no SDK for it and I don't know about driver libraries. Is it possible to write code to find any usb camera and then grab and image from such or would the code be tied to a particular camera?

Different cameras use slightly different file formats. The RAW format isn't a single format at all. You will probably need an SDK for it.

ok I'll try to find an SDK for the camera, thanks
